BPSS2185 facilitates adherence to A549 epithelial cells. Graph showing that the deletion of BPSS2185 significantly reduced the ability to bind to A549 epithelial cells. Complementation of the ∆BPSS2185 mutation not only restored, but also enhanced, the adhesive capability of the mutant strain. Graph bars are representative of three independent experiments and error bars represent the standard error of means. A Student’s t-test was conducted to compare groups. P-values are indicated on the graph.
