Effects of Lactobacillus spp. on H. pylori (A) adhesion and (B) invasion into gastric epithelial cells. AGS cells were treated with live Lactobacillus spp. (GMNL-74, 185, and 229) or heat-inactivated Lactobacillus spp. (GMNL-74 and 185), followed by infection with H. pylori 26695 at multiplicity of infection (MOI) 100 for 6 h. Each experiment result shows the mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments. * p < 0.01.
