Figure 3. S. aureus inhibited cell growth.

Figure 3

MAC-T cells were exposed to S. aureus MW2 or O46 for 2 h at MOIs ranging from 5∶1 to 20∶1 and further incubated for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h (control: black rhombus; MW2: black square; 046: black circle) and the number of cells was determined (cell count). Cell viability was evaluated by MTT. The results are shown as the percentage of the control. Data are presented as mean +/− SD. Each experiment was done in triplicate. The differences among the groups were assessed by ANOVA. Tukey's Honestly Significant Difference test was applied for comparison of means.
