Determination of the involvement of β1 integrin in the S. pseudintermedius internalization process using murine osteoblast cell lines (OB-β1fl/fl and OB-β1-/-) with functional and non-functional β1 subunits, respectively. Internalization capacity of S. aureus 8325-4 (positive control), DU5883 S. aureus Δfnb (negative control) and the reference strain S. pseudintermedius LMG 22219 in OB-β1fl/fl and OB-β1-/- osteoblasts measured 3 h post-infection derived from three experiments performed in triplicate. The bilateral Mann–Whitney test was used to compare the data obtained for the OB-β1fl/fl and OB-β1-/- osteoblasts at an α risk of 0.05 (∗∗∗p < 0.001).
