Assessment of Pasteurella multocida A Lipopolysaccharide, as an Adhesin in an In Vitro Model of Rabbit Respiratory Epithelium

Table 4

Mean estimated quantity of LPS on the apical surface of epithelial cells and within the goblet cells and the number of bacteria that adhered to the ciliated border (mean of 7 repetitions for each experiment).

Treatment	Estimated number of bacteria (pixels); (mean ± SD)	Estimated LPS quantity (pixels) (mean ± SD)
(1) Negative control	0	0
(2) P. multocida	59897.6 ± 12.81	1247 ± 4.65
(3) LPS and P. multocida simultaneously	1024041.1 ± 32.41	2080027 ± 89.50
(4) LPS and 30 min later P. multocida	1020481.7 ± 1188.70	2079876 ± 333.80
(5) P. multocida and 30 min later its LPS	634092.6 ± 6.94	31586 ± 4.80
(6) LPS P. multocida	0	1998847 ± 550.56
