Figure 4. Comparison of porcine heart valve tissue and cellulose membrane adherence by Asc10+ OG1SSp (pCF10) and a prgB deletion mutant (pCF10-8).

Figure 4

Both strains are demonstrated to bind to valve tissue at a much higher density than to an abiotic surface such as the cellulose membrane. * indicates p-value ≤0.02, with respect to valve bacterial load.
