Replication index: Intracellular growth was expressed as replication index (RI) which corresponds to the number of CFU 3 hrs post-infection divided by the number of CFU 1 hr post-infection. Data are presented as means (± standard deviation) of at least three experiments. Asterisks indicate statistically significant values compared to control bacterial cells (*p<0.05; ***p<0.001).
