Figure 5. Effect of D-mannose on type 1 pili-mediated adherence.

Figure 5

Adherence of CFT073 and derivative strains to HeLa cells cultured in DMEM at 37°C was quantitated in the presence of 0, 0.5, and 1% D-mannose. Colony-forming-units (CFU) were obtained after plating out ten-fold dilutions of 1% TritonX-100-treated cells. Standard deviations are represented by error bars and represent the average of all the results obtained from the 3 experiments performed.
