Quantitative analysis of wound healing assay of MCF 10A and MDA-MB-231 epithelial cells after 48 h of infection with B. burgdorferi and 6 h of recovery (48 h + 6 h). The cells were infected for 48 h with B. burgdorferi and then a wound was induced, and cell migration was quantified after 6 h of recovery as described in Material and Methods. The error bars represent the standard error of mean (SEM). The p-value of the data < 0.05 is considered significant and is indicated by *. All experiments were performed a minimum of four independent times with at least three samples per experiment (n = 12).
