Fig. 2From: Strain-specific probiotic properties of lactic acid bacteria and their interference with human intestinal pathogens invasionAdhesion ability of the different LAB strains to the human Caco-2 cell monolayers. Caco-2 monolayers were incubated for 1 h with a LAB strain. Thereafter the supernatants were discarded and the monolayers were washed to remove the non-attached bacteria. Then the monolayers were trypsinized to release the eukaryotic cells and adhered bacteria and the bacteria were plated on MRS plates. Results are expressed as the percentage of bacteria adhered with respect to the amount of bacteria added (% CFU bacteria adhered/CFU bacteria added). The experiments have been performed in triplicateBack to article page
