Probiotic bacteria induced improvement of the mucosal integrity of enterocyte-like Caco-2 cells after exposure to Salmonella enteritidis 857

Probiotics protect the intestinal epithelium. Whether their protection against Salmonella is mediated via stabilizing the barrier integrity was examined here. The intestinal barrier integrity was assessed by measuring the trans-epithelial electrical resistance (TER) of Caco-2 cell monolayer. Cells w...
