Intestinal tissue sections colonized by E. coli. A. Jejunum from a diarrheic piglet. Large fluorescence mass consisting of E. coli (red) present in the intestinal lumen, between the villi (green) and attached to the villous epithelium. The yellowish-green fluorescence present in the centrally located villous results from autofluorescence of the erythrocytes. Magnification 200x. B. Jejunum from a diarrheic piglet. E. coli cells (red) adhere to the intestinal epithelium lining the villi (brown). Magnification 200x. C. Jejunum of a non-diarrheic piglet. Small amounts of E. coli are present in the intestinal lumen with no adhesion to the tissue. Magnification 400x.
