From: Permissiveness of bovine epithelial cells from lung, intestine, placenta and udder for infection with Coxiella burnetii

Figure 2

Invasion and replication efficiency of C. burnetii in different bovine epithelial cell lines. Efficiencies were determined following the study design described in Figure 1. The relative numbers of cell-associated genome equivalents of C. burnetii (GE) of NMI (A) and of NMII (B) were determined by icd qPCR. Significant differences between udder cells and other epithelial cell lines were determined by Mann–Whitney U test (a: p ≤ 0.05; b: p ≤ 0.01); L—Bel-26 (lung), Pm—BCEC (maternal placenta), Pf—F3 (fetal placenta), G—FKD-R 971 (jejunum), U—PS (udder).
