Adhesion of pathogens and fecal isolates to Caco-2 cells in the presence of apple pomace preparations (P1, P2, and P3). The inhibition/stimulation rate (%) was calculated according to the equation: (adherence of tested sample × 100%/adherence of control) − 100%.
| Strain | Inhibition (−)/Stimulation (+) Rate (%) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| P1 | P2 | P3 | |
| Escherichia coli ATCC 10536 | −13.9 | −12.9 | −9.3 |
| Salmonella Typhimurium ATCC 14028 | −12.0 | −13.6 | −14.2 |
| Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19115 | −27.9 | −27.9 | −27.9 |
| Aerobic fecal bacteria | −9.4 | −7.7 | +2.9 |
| Anaerobic fecal bacteria | −2.9 | −2.1 | −3.1 |
