a Agglutination reflects binding of bacteria to Saccharomyces boulardii cells. Symbols +++ denote strong agglutination reaction; ++ denote a mild agglutination reaction and – denotes no observable agglutination. Mixtures exhibiting agglutination are interpreted as causing no or mild inhibition of binding between bacteria and yeast cells whereas no agglutination reactions are interpreted as appreciable inhibition of binding between bacteria and yeast cells. All bacteria exhibited inhibition of mannose-sensitive binding to Saccharomyces boulardii cells after pre-exposed similarly to 0.05 M methyl α-d-mannopyranoside.
