Cell adhesion and proliferation properties of L. reuteri DS0384. (a) Viability of L. reuteri DS0384, KCTC3594T, and LGG at pH 3.0. (b) Effect of bile salts on L. reuteri DS0384, KCTC3594T, and LGG. (c) Average adhesion of L. reuteri DS0384, KCTC3594T, and LGG to Caco-2 cells. Data are the mean ± SEM (n = 3). (d) Survival of DS0384 in an hIEC model under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Data represent the mean ± SEM (n > 3). *p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001 by two-tailed t-test.
