pH changes during in vitro adherence of Escherichia coli to HeLa cells.

PMCID: PMC303241  PMID: 7927801

Abstract

Escherichia coli-induced acidic pH conditions were observed during the in vitro adherence of E. coli to HeLa cells. No pH changes occurred in the absence of adherence. This suggests that adherence affects the function or interaction of HeLa cells and E. coli.
