Figure 1. Adhesion rates of E. coli to IPEC-J2.

Figure 1

IPEC-J2 cells were incubated with E. coli from domestic pigs (DP, n = 104) or wild boars (WB, n = 93) over 2 h or 6 h. Adhesion was quantified after removing non-adherent bacteria by washing. There were significant differences in adhesion following 2 h and 6 h incubation periods. Additionally, there was a significant difference in adhesion between E. coli from domestic pigs and wild boar after 6 h incubation. All: isolates of domestic pigs and wild boars together, *: p<0.05 between the groups connected by the beam. Solid squares represent the sample mean.
