Figure 4

Effect of pre-existing biofilm of E. coli on E. faecalis adherence. (A) Fluorescence image of E. faecalis (green) after 24-hour incubation (without E. coli) on mannose surface. (B) Fluorescence image of E. faecalis (green) after 24-hour incubation on mannose surfaces with pre-formed biofilm of fim+ E. coli 83972 (red). (C) Bacterial counts of E. faecalis grown with and without pre-formed biofilm of E. coli on mannose surfaces were obtained from fluorescence images. Results are the medians of 4 experiments.
