Figure 1.
Coaggregation activity of L. casei IMAU60214 with three pathogenic strains (two DEC strains EHEC, EAEC, and the control E. coli ATCC 25922). (A) The formation of bacterial coaggregates of the study strains were observed by Gram-staining and visualized with the immersion objective using a light microscope Nikon. The magnification of the picture is 1000× (B) Coaggregation percentages with the E. coli strains after 120 min of interaction at 37 °C. The values represent the mean ± standard deviation of three independent biological assays. The magnification of these picture is 100×.
