Lactobacilli Reduce Chemokine IL-8 Production in Response to TNF-α and Salmonella Challenge of Caco-2 Cells

Table 1

Surface hydrophobicity of the lactobacilli and pathogen strains.

Bacterial strain	BATH (%)^a	SAT (M)^b
Lactobacillus salivarius	54±1.8^A	1.0
Lactobacillus plantarum	48±1.4^AB	2.0
Lactobacillus rhamnosus LGG	36±2.1^B	2.0
Bacillus cereus	14±1.3^C	1.0
Escherichia coli	9±0.9^D	2.5
Staphylococcus aureus	18±1.5^C	1.0
Salmonella typhimurium	17±2.1^C	1.0

aBATH: bacterial adherence to hydrocarbons.
^bSAT: salt aggregation tests.
^{A to D}Means with different uppercase superscript letters are significantly different (𝑃<0.05).
