Competition assay of Ld45E with GBS on HeLa cells. The black arrows in (A) show the (blank) HeLa cells (purple stain) after incubation for 24 h at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 incubator. The red arrows in (B) illustrate the (control group) GBS (pinkish stain) aggregation on HeLa cells after incubation for 4 h at 37 °C. The yellow arrows in (C) indicate the (Bacilli strain) Ld45E (purple stain) reduces the aggregation of GBS (pinkish stain) indicated by the red arrows, on HeLa cells indicated by the black arrow stained purple with crystal violet.
