Figure 4

Adherence patterns of O157 strain 86–24 (Intimin-positive) and its mutant derivatives, 86-24 eae Δ10 (Intimin-negative) and 86-24 eae Δ10 (pEB310) (Initmin-positive), on RSE cells, in the presence of D + Mannose. The immunofluorescence (IF) stained slides are shown at 40x magnification. O157 have green fluorescence, cytokeratins’ of RSE cells have orange-red fluorescence, and their nuclei have blue fluorescence. The arrows in the adjacent toluidine blue (TB) stained slides, at 40x magnification, point to RSE-adherent O157.
