TEER values (% of initial value = 0 h) of IPEC-J2 cells (a) and Caco-2 (b) cells during 12 h of incubation with control medium or E. faecium (10⁶ CFU per cell culture insert) (mean ± SEM), IPEC-J2: = 22–39 cell culture inserts; Caco-2: = 16–36 cell culture inserts. The symbol indicates a difference between E. faecium-incubated cells and control cells.
