Fig. 1From: Expression of hes, iha, and tpsA codified in locus of adhesion and autoaggregation and their involvement in the capability of shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli strains to adhere to epithelial cellsAdherence to HEp-2 by the O91 STEC strains The adhered strains are expressed as the number of CFU per milliliter. O91Δhes STEC and E. coli HB101 pVB1_hes were used to compare their adherence with the adherence of the O91 STEC strains and the capability to adhere to HEp-2 cell was variable. *Green bars are hes positive strains and violet bars are hes negative strainsBack to article page
