Relative internalization rate [%] after 20 h versus 40 h. Primary human osteoblasts were infected with S. aureus Cowan I ATCC 12598, S. aureus Subspezies Rosenbach ATCC 49230 and S. carnosus TM 300 (MOI = 100) followed by treatment with antibiotics for 20 h or for 40 h, n = 3. The number of surviving bacteria was determined by plating and is shown in relation to S. aureus Cowan I incubated with Gentamicin for 20h (100%). The results are shown as means ± SD of three independent experiments performed in triplicate. * p ≤ 0.05.
