Fig. 4From: Diverse proinflammatory response in pharyngeal epithelial cells upon interaction with Neisseria meningitidis carriage and invasive isolatesAdhesion (A) and cell death (B) in epithelial cells exposed to N. meningitidis of case (solid black) and carriage (open gray) isolates from outbreak 1 (invasive n = 1, carriage n = 3), outbreak 2 (invasive n = 1, carriage n = 1) and outbreak 3 (invasive n = 3). Box plots represent the median, 1st and 3rd quartiles and min/max from 5 experiments for each isolate. Differences between invasive and linked carriage isolates within each outbreak were calculated using a Mann‒Whitney testBack to article page
