Figure 5.
Effects of bacterial dose (109, 1010, or 1011 colony-forming units) on adherence in the ileum and the colon of EHEC O157:H7 strain 86-24 grown in BHIN or in LB with shaking. Adherence was quantified as the percentage of villi with 5 or more adherent bacterial clusters. * — significant difference (P < 0.05) between the ileum and the colon.
