FIG. 3.
Adhesion of E. histolytica trophozoites (2 × 105) of strains HK-9 and HM-1 to BHK cell fixed monolayers after 30 min of interaction. The amebae were grown in axenic conditions and monoxenically cultivated with E. coli (Ec) O55 or 346 for 1 month. The trophozoites that remained attached to the monolayer after washing were counted. The data represent the means and standard deviations of three independent experiments.
