Abstract
The adherence of 12 strains of Campylobacter pylori was studied on four cell lines. Immunofluorescence and scanning and transmission electron microscopy were used to visualize the bacteria. A heavy adherence to the epithelial cell line HEp-2 and to the intestinal cell line Int-407 was noted. By transmission electron microscopy, a close association between bacteria and cells in the form of cup-like structures was observed, but pedestals were not present.
