FIG. 12.

Adherence of TPI mutants of S. aureus to C. neoformans. S. aureus strains were incubated at 30°C with heat-killed cells of C. neoformans B-3501 (about 3 × 10⁷/ml) for 6 h, and the percent adherence was calculated. Each bar represents the percentage of adherence ± standard deviation (error bar) for three experiments. Values that were significantly different are indicated by asterisks as follows: *, P < 0.01; **, P < 0.05. (A) S. aureus in SB was incubated with C. neoformans. (B) Twice the stationary-phase concentration of S. aureus was incubated with C. neoformans cells.
