The results showed that rebA exposure could decrease the adsorption of gp17 to its host compared to non-exposed controls: the OD 450 of gp17 exposed to rebA was 2.887 ± 0.090 compared to 3.216 ± 0.184 of gp17 alone, corresponding to a slightly significant decrease of 10.2% (Student’s t-test p-value = 0.049) (Fig. 4 b).
