Figure 3. Basolateral glucose-induced growth of apical Ps. aeruginosa is greater across CF airway epithelial monolayers.

Figure 3

A: Ps. aeruginosa growth over 7 hours across the apical surface of HBE monolayers, in the presence of 5 mM D-glucose, 15 mM basolateral D-glucose or 5 mM D-glucose plus 10 mM L-glucose. n = 4 in each group, obtained using cells from 2 different non-CF and CF donors assayed across 4 separate experiments. * p<0.05. B: Ps. aeruginosa growth over 7 hours across the apical surface of non-CF and CF HBE monolayers, in the presence of 5 mM or 15 mM basolateral D-glucose. n = 4 in each group, obtained using cells from 2 different non-CF and CF donors assayed across 4 separate experiments. * p<0.05.
