Adherence of 60 E. faecium isolates to immobilized ECM and serum proteins. Cells were grown in BHI for 10 h. Adherence was tested in wells coated with 1μg of collagen type V, fibronectin, laminin, fibrinogen or 5μg of transferrin, lactoferrin or BSA. Each data point represents the mean percentage of adherent cells of 9 wells from three assays. Endo, strains isolated from patients with E. faecium endocarditis; OCI, strains isolated from non-endocarditis E. faecium clinical infections; stool, isolates from the stool of healthy community volunteers; animal, isolates of animal origin.
