Artocarpin inhibits the adherence of pneumococci to A549 cells. (A) Percentage of inhibition of adherence of pneumococcal reference strain DSM20566 (black) and clinical isolate PN8828 (white) by artocarpin in comparison to untreated bacteria. Mean and standard deviation of at least three assays each with two parallels per concentration are shown. (B) Gram staining was used to confirm adhesion of strain DSM20566 in the absence (upper image) and presence (down image) of 12.5 μM artocarpin. The untreated cell control (Co) is shown in the left lower corner of the upper image. Bar represents 5 μm.
