Bacterial adherence and cytotoxicity to human epithelial cells. (a)Differences in the number of bacteria attached to Caco-2 monolayers according to the source of isolation (environmental and clinical) or (b)ETEC expressing CS23 versus ETEC isolates expressing other CFs (non-CS23) of each group. C, clinical and E, environmental. Assays were performed in triplicate, and the violin plots show the distribution of the data and the mean and SD. The asterisks indicate a significant difference in the unpaired t-test (*P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01) using GraphPad Prism 8.00. (c)Cytotoxicity to Caco-2 cells infected by environmental and clinical ETEC isolates.
