Competition of Lactobacillus paracasei with Salmonella enterica for Adhesion to Caco-2 Cells
Figure 3
Four-hour coincubation experiments. Adhesion of S. enterica to Caco-2 cells under different conditions: (a) S. enterica was incubated with Caco-2 cells; (b) S. enterica and L. paracasei were coincubated; (c) L.paracasei overnight culture was washed with and resuspended in
isotonic salt solution and coincubated with S.
enterica; (d) L. paracasei overnight culture was
centrifuged and spent supernatant (SCS) was incubated with S. enterica. Numbers represent the amount of adhered bacteria per 1
Caco-2 cell. Mean and SEM, t-test. Asterisks indicate the statistical differences: *, **, ***.
