Adherence of Lactobacillus spp. to the human colon adenocarcinoma cell line Caco-2. Data from three independent experiments (± SD)
| Strain | Adherence rate [%] ± SD | Number of adhered bacterial cells / 1 Caco-2 cell | Adhesion type classification * |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lact. paracasei ŁOCK 1091 | 85.09 ± 4.08 | 6.53 | NA |
| Lact. pentosus ŁOCK 1094 | 95.05 ± 3.66 | 34.80 | M |
| Lact. plantarum ŁOCK 0860 | 92.40 ± 2.58 | 22.28 | M |
| Lact. reuteri ŁOCK 1092 | 90.03 ± 1.36 | 14.97 | W |
| Lact. rhamnosus ŁOCK 1087 | 90.55 ± 0.72 | 16.35 | W |
*Lactobacillus strains were classified as non-adhesive (NA: 0–10), weakly adhesive (W: 10–20), moderately adhesive (M: 20–50) and strongly adhesive (S: > 50), according to Saidi et al. [34]
