Fig 2. Adherence of E. faecalis BioE EF71, L. fermentum BioE LF11, L. paracasei BioE LP08, L. plantarum BioE LPL59, S. thermophilus BioE ST107, and L. rhamnosus GG to Caco-2 cells.

Fig 2

After bacterial inoculation of Caco-2 monolayers, the number of bacteria that adhered to the plates was calculated. Pink numbers indicate the number of initial bacterial cells before addition to Caco-2 cells. Dark pink numbers indicate the mean number of adhered cells after addition to Caco-2 cells. Data shown are mean ± SEM of three independent experiments performed in triplicate. **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001 versus initial cell number. Reference strain: L. rhamnosus GG. ***p < 0.001 versus L. rhamnosus GG.
