Invasion of Epithelial Cells Is Correlated with Secretion of Biosurfactant via the Type 3 Secretion System (T3SS) of Shigella flexneri

<div>(a) Shigella’s adhesion to hydrocarbon phase of some strains used in this study. ODB: optical density before vortexing; ODA: optical density after vortexing; M90T: Shigella flexneri 5a strain M90T; Sbo: S. boydii; Sso: S. sonnei; spa40-: S. flexneri 5a spa40-; Pae: P. aeruginosa used as positive control. (b) Percentage hydrophobicity of Shigella strains.</div>
