The enhancement of bacterial adhesion to HBMEC with LOS modification by LptA is not prominent in encapsulated N. meningitidis. NIID311 (ST-5) and H44/76 (ST-32) genetic backgrounds were studied. Mean CFU of adherent bacteria per 104 cells of HBMEC in at least three experiments are shown, and error bars represent the standard errors of the means. *, P < 0.001; **, P < 0.05; ***, P = 0.78 (compared to the isogenic ΔlptA strain). CPS, capsular polysaccharide.
