Figure 1 Gram staining of ETEC, EPEC and Clostridium difficile (×1000). Competitive inhibition of adherence of ETEC, EPEC and Clostridium difficile to intestinal epithelial cells by purified adhesin of B. ado 1027 was observed by adhesion assay. A: adherence of ETEC to intestinal epithelial cells without adhesin; B: adherence of ETEC to intestinal epithelial cells with adhesin; C: adherence of EPEC to intestinal epithelial cells without adhesin; D: adherence of ETEC to intestinal epithelial cells with adhesin; E: adherence of C. difficile to intestinal epithelial cells without adhesin; and F: adherence of C. difficile to intestinal epithelial cells with adhesin.
