Effect of the designed inhibitory peptide on L.monocytogenes invasion. Intracellular L.monocytogenes decline after 1 h incubation with 8, 16,32 and 64 µg designed peptide. Untreated bacteria were used as controls. The error bars indicate the SD from three replicate samples. *P ≤ 0.05; **P ≤ 0.01 using one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test
