Interaction and invasion in different eukaryotic cell lineages. Short period quantitative invasion assay was performed in Caco-2 and T24 cells using a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 50 in confluent cell cultures. All assays were carried out in the absence of D-mannose, except for EC121 M+, where 2% D-mannose was added in the assay medium; E. coli CFT073 was used as ExPEC control, E. albertti strain 1551-2 eae::Km was used as an adherent noninvasive control, and E. coli C600 as was used as a noninvasive control. The assays were performed in experimental triplicates and biological duplicates. p values: ** < 0.01; ns > 0.05.
