Adherence of A. baumannii strains to A549 cells. A549 alveolar epithelial cells were infected with A. baumannii wild-type, ΔLeuO, .and CP strains at a MOI of 1:100 for 2 h. After lysis with Triton-X, cell lysates were diluted and plated onto LB agar plates for CFU counting. The experiment was performed with three replicates. Data are presented as mean ± SD. ns, non-significant; **P < 0.01, significantly lower than that of the wild-type strain.
