Figure 1. AIEC to Caco-2 cells measured under different treatment conditions. Values are expressed as mean ± SD of log10 CFU/mL (n = 3 per condition). One-way ANOVA revealed a significant effect of treatment on bacterial adhesion (P = 1.02 × 10-4). Muno-IgY® at 6 mg/mL and 3 mg/mL significantly reduced AIEC adhesion compared with Blank (P = 0.011 and P = 0.0009, respectively). Different letters above bars indicate statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). AIEC: Adhesion of Adherent-invasive Escherichia coli; SD: Standard deviation; CFU: colony-forming unit.
