Fig. 2. Inhibitory effect of Consti-Biome and Sensi-Biome on the adhesion of pathogens to HT-29 cell. HT-29 cells were incubated with (A) S. aureus and (B) E. coli alone (Control) or co-incubation with 100 μl of Consti-Biome and Sensi- Biome (10⁸ colony forming unit (CFU)) for 90 min. Cell cultures of pathogens were plated on Baired-Parker agar with egg yolk tellurite emulsion for S. aureus and MacConkey Agar for E. coli to determine viable cell counts. The agar plates were incubated at 37°C for 24 h and the number of pathogens CFUs bound to HT-29 cells were estimated. The values are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. A significant difference from the control was indicated as, *p < 0.05, or **p < 0.01.
