Fig. 7.
Panel A, growth of E2348/69 ex vivo in sterile filtrates of fluids collected from E2348-infected and uninfected control ileal loops. Panel B, growth of REPEC E22 ex vivo in sterile filtrates of fluids collected from E22-infected and uninfected (buffered saline control) ligated ileal loops. Panel C, growth of E2348/69 in sterile filtrates of uninfected loop fluids alone (bottom curve, dotted line) or supplemented with 60 μM exogenous adenosine (top curve, closed circles). In Panels A – C growth in the upper curves was significantly increased compared to the lower curves by ANOVA (p < 0.05).
