Invasion efficiencies in Caco-2 cells of Listeria strains. The strains tested are shown on the x-axis and include L. seeligeri FSL N1-067, L. innocua FSL S4-378 (non-hemolytic), L. monocytogenes 10403S ΔinlA (FSL K4-006), L. innocua FSL J1-023 (hemolytic) and L. ivanovii subsp. londoniensis FSL F6-596 (ATCC 49954). Invasion efficiency (the number of recovered cells/number of cells used for inoculation) was normalized to the invasion efficiency obtained for L. monocytogenes 10403S, which was set as 100%, and was included as a control strain in each essay. Three independent invasion assays were performed for each strain tested.
