Interaction of B. clausii CSI08 with intestinal epithelial cells. (a) B. clausii CSI08 did not reduce HT-29 viability. Data represent percentage of XTT dye conversion after 20 h of coincubation with B. clausii CSI08 compared with untreated cells (medium). Values are means ± SEM of three independent experiments. (b) Adhesion of vegetative cells and spores B. clausii CSI08 to the HT-29-MTX. Values represent percentage of adhered cells/spores after 2.5 h of incubation with HT-29-MTX followed by four rounds of washing. Values are means (n = 6) ± SEM of three independent experiments **** p < 0.0001 vs. CSI08 cells, ++++ p < 0.0001 vs. L. fermentum.
