Both the AcrB and AcrA components contribute to survival of LF82 within macrophages. Intracellular LF82 (black square), LF82 ΔacrB (open triangle), and LF82 ΔacrA (open diamond) bacteria were recovered from THP-1 differentiated into macrophages at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 h p.i. (referred to as T0, T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5, respectively) and stained with DAPI/PI. The values are expressed as percentage of PI (+) dead bacteria relative to DAPI (+) bacteria. The results are the average of at least three independent experiments. Error bars represent the SD. The statistical significance was determined by a two tailed student’s t test. *p ≤ 0.01.
