TABLE 4.
Comparison of autoagglutination of C. jejuni strain 81116 and its spontaneous variants
| Strain | Phenotypea | AAG activitybA600 |
|---|---|---|
| 81116 | F+ M+ | 0.047 ± 0.005 |
| 83-84 | F+ M− | 0.039 ± 0.005 |
| 83-86 | F− M− | 0.765 ± 0.006c |
F, flagella; M, motility. Symbols: +, positive; −, negative.
Bacterial cells were suspended in PBS after extraction twice with DW, and AAG activity was assayed after incubation for 24 h at 25°C.
P < 0.001 compared with F+ strains.
