Figure 1

Adhesion of P. fluorescens MF37, P. fluorescens MFN1032 and P. aeruginosa PAO1 on Caco-2/TC7 (A) and HT-29 (B) cells after 5 h of infection at 106 or 108 CFU ml-1. The adhesion index (mean number of bacteria adherent per cell) was calculated by direct microscopic counting of 100 cells. Results were calculated as the mean values (± SEM) of three independent experiments. For each dosis, # # P < 0.01 versus MF37, # # # P < 0.001 versus MF37, *** P < 0.001 versus MFN1032.
