Table 2.
Strain | Number of Bacteria a (CFU/well) | Adhesion and Invasion to EPC (%) |
---|---|---|
TH0426 | (2.4 ± 0.16) × 107 | 16 ± 1.1 |
∆preA | (4.95 ± 0.05) × 107 | 33 ± 0.3 * |
C-preA | (2.25 ± 0.08) × 107 | 15 ± 0.5 |
Data are the means of three experiments and presented as means ± SDs. a Cell counts of bacteria that attach and invade EPC cells. * p < 0.05—significant versus the corresponding values of TH0426.
