Clinically infected (n = 2) | 14.80 ± 1.00 B | 18.00 ± 6.30 | 10.72 ± 7.18 | 36.45 ± 1.95 B | 9.39 ± 4.91 | 15.30 ± 3.00 B |
Phenotypic analyses were performed 18 h after the replacement of the supernatant in culture with fresh medium and before the addition of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis to the in vitro cultures.
The different letters after the values indicate statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) (values with the same letter were not significantly different).
