Lack of CdhA adversely affects bacterial adherence to human pharyngeal cells. The adherence index was determined using Detroit 562 human pharyngeal carcinoma cell lines and as a percentage of initial inoculum (MOI 50:1 (bacteria/cell); i.e. 5 × 107 cfu/well). Shown is the mean ± S.E. (error bars) of three independent experiments, each performed in at least triplicate wells.
