FIG 2 — Adhesion forces between S. aureus and vWF in the extracellular matrix. (A) Maximum adhesion force (left) and rupture length (right) histograms with representative retraction force profiles (insets) obtained by recording force-distance curves in HEPES buffer between Newman bacteria and ionophore-treated endothelial cells. Data from a total of 1,536 curves from 3 different bacterial-HUVEC cell pairs are shown. (B) Force data collected between Newman bacteria and nontreated endothelial cells (1,536 curves from 3 cell pairs). (C) Force data collected between Newman Δspa bacteria and ionophore-treated endothelial cells (1,536 curves from 3 cell pairs). The percentage shown represents the proportion of nonadhesive events. For data on more cells, see Table S1.
