Change in E. coli adhesion to Caco-2 cell monolayer after treatment with acetone crude extracts of nine plants, presented as relative percentage of bacterial adhesion to cells incubated with extracts for 1 h compared with the untreated control. EE = E. erythrophylla; EN = E. natalitia; EW = E. woodii; EU = E. umtamvunensis; EZ = E. zeyheri; SL = S. legatii; SM = S. masukuense; SP = S. sp.; positive control, G = Gentamicin; untreated culture control, ETEC = Enterotoxigenic E. coli (virulence genes = STA, F6). Data is expressed as the mean percentage ± SEM of three replicates. Asterisks (*) above a bar indicate significant difference at p < 0.05, compared with the control (ETEC)
