Figure 5. Adherence of SdrF to polystyrene surfaces.

Figure 5

(A) Binding of L. lactis strains containing S. epidermidis recombinant surface proteins was tested on polystyrene microplate wells. B.P.F., bacteria per field (400×magnification); *, P<0.05 when compared to pOri23 (control). (B) Increasing concentrations of antibodies were pre-incubated with L. lactis (pOri-SdrF) before exposure to a polystyrene surface. ▪, pre-immune IgGs; ♦, anti-rASdrF IgGs; •, anti-rBSdrF IgGs; *, P<0.05 when compared to the control experiment (no antibody). §, P<0.05 (for Anti-rASdrF) when compared to the control experiment (no antibody).
