Effects of Sodium Octanoate on Innate Immune Response of Mammary Epithelial Cells during Staphylococcus aureus Internalization

Figure 2

Sodium octanoate differentially modulates S. aureus internalization into bMEC. Effect of NaO on S. aureus internalization into bMEC is represented by the percentage of CFU recovered after bMEC lysis. Values were determined considering the control (without MCFA) as 100% internalization. Each bar shows the mean of triplicates ± SE of three independent experiments. The symbol “*” indicates significant changes ( ) in relation to control cells cultured without MCFA.
