Adhesion of L. delbrueckii(a) and E. coli(b) to Caco-2 cells. The Caco-2 cell was incubated with DMEM medium containing 0.5×105 CFU/ml of bacteria. L: L. delbrueckiialone; E: E. colialone; L+E: L. delbrueckii and E. coli added simultaneously; L/E: E. coli added after L. delbrueckii; and E/L: L. delbrueckii added after E. coli. Asterisk (FNx01) indicates the means which were significantly different (P<0.05) from the control (Adhesion of L. delbrueckii alone (L) was considered as a control for adhesion assay L. delbrueckii and adhesion of E. coli alone (E) was considered as a control for adhesion assay E. coli.
