Figure 5From: In vitro evaluation of anti-infective activity of a Lactobacillus plantarum strain against Salmonella enterica serovar EnteritidisEffect of KSBT 56 on invasion of S. Enteritidis (A) and effect of CFCS of KSBT 56 on invasion of S. Enteritidis to HCT-116 cells. A. Gentamicin protection assay was performed to determine the invasion of S. Enteritidis into the HCT-116 cell line in the presence (+) or absence (−) of KSBT 56 strain. The pathogen and the KSBT 56 strain were either co-infected together into the cell line (0 h) or the pathogen was added at a time delay of (1 h). B. The effect of CFCS on invasion of S. Enteritidis was determined by co-incubating S. Enteritidis with the CFCS of KSBT 56 in 24- well tissue culture plate seeded with HCT-116 cell line. S. Enteritidis was also cultured with CFCS for 1 h before infection of HCT-116 cells. L. plantarum MTCC 1407 was taken as a reference strain. The invasion of S. Enteritidis to HCT-116 cells is taken as control.Back to article page
