a
Input IFU were calculated as 25 IFU per well, and four twofold serial dilutions were performed to obtain additional concentrations of 12.5, 6.25, 3.12, and 1.56 IFU per well.
b
Focal assays 1 and 2 consisted of five wells of each final concentration of input IFU.
c
Mean values (n = 5) ± standard error.
