Figure 3. Adherence of STEC to ileal and colonic epithelium. A. Immunoperoxidase staining of STEC serotype O26:H11 adherent to villi and in the lumen in the ileum of a calf (40X). B. Bacteria evident as rows of dark-staining organisms at the interphase between epithelium and lumen (Giemsa, 63X). C. A cluster of bacteria adhering in a pattern similar to that seen in localized adherence to HEp-2 cells in vitro (Giemsa, 100X).
