From: Protection of rabbits against enteropathogenic Escherichia coli(EPEC) using an intimin null mutant
In vitro attachment of fluorescent E. coli strains to isolated intestinal villi. The 97/241.6Īeae REPEC (A) do adhere, but only in small numbers. The insert shows three mutant bacterial cells attached to the enterocytes. DH5Ī± strains (B) do not adhere to the intestinal villi, while B10 strains (C) are strongly adherent. The insert shows multiple E. coli (intense green) attached to the brush border (faint green).
