Table 2 Invasion, adhesion and cytotoxicity of different bacterial strains at low and high MOI. Invasion: RT112 cells incubated for 2 h, 37°C with bacteria prior to addition of 100 μg/ml gentamicin; adhesion was measured by the MTT assay as described; cytotoxicity was determined at MOI 2 and 10 after 2 h of incubation.
