FIGURE 5

Transmission electron microscopy of E. intestinalis spores attached to Caco-2 cell surfaces. The attached spores appear to be in direct contact with the cell surface or microvilli and have either intact, unextruded polar filaments (A) or extruded PTs (B). Bar is 500 nm. Arrows show host cell microvilli, and the arrowhead points to the E. intestinalis PT. Reprinted with permission of the author (JR Hayman) and the publisher (Hayman et al., 2005).
