From: Anti-biofilm activity of caffeine against uropathogenic E. coli is mediated by curli biogenesis
Effect of caffeine on uropathogenic E.coli using in-vitro co-culture model of T-24 cells CFT073. (a) Effect of untreated UPEC and caffeine treated UPEC on the viability of T-24 cells as determined by MTT assay. Only cells (T-24) served as control. (b) Effect of caffeine on the survival of UPEC inside T-24 cells. Untreated UPEC served as control. The experiment was performed in triplicates. The data represents an average of three independent experiments presented as mean ± SEM where * p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, and ****p < 0.0001 indicates statistically significant difference relative to the untreated control (one-way ANOVA).
