Interactions of S. suis serotype 2 with human astrocytes. Bacterial adhesion (A) and invasion (B) of human astrocytes by the S. suis strains belonging to different sequence types (STs), and adhesion (C) and invasion (D) of human astrocytes by the mutant strains. Results are expressed as log10 mean ± SEM CFU obtained from three independent experiments. Dotted lines indicate a ratio of 1 intracellular bacterium/cell. The use of different letters (a, b or c) indicates a significant difference between groups (p < 0.01); **(p < 0.01); ***(p < 0.001)
