Figure 1

S. aureus infection of osteoblasts and macrophages. (A) Live intracellular S. aureus and (B) viability of osteoblasts and macrophages at different MOIs (100:1, 500:1, and 1000:1) for 2 h. * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.001 compared to osteoblasts at the same MOI. (C) Live intracellular S. aureus and (D) viability of osteoblasts and macrophages at an MOI of 500:1 for various infection times. ** p < 0.001 compared to osteoblasts at the same infection time, & p < 0.01 compared to macrophages at infection times 0 and 0.5 h, ^ p < 0.01 compared to osteoblasts at the same infection times, and # p < 0.05 compared to osteoblasts at infection times 0 and 0.5 h. (E) Effect of cytochalasin D on S. aureus internalization in osteoblasts. ** p < 0.001 compared to the controls and ^^ p < 0.001 compared to 0.5, 1, and 5 μg/mL.
