Adherence of recombinant E. coli bacteria expressing WT Hag proteins. Panels A and B: Adherence is expressed as the mean percentage (± standard error) of inoculated bacteria binding to monolayers. Panel C: Adherence is expressed as the normalized mean number of bacteria per microscopic fields (± standard error) binding to collagen type IV coated wells. The number above each bar represents the mean; standard error is shown in parentheses. Asterisks indicate that the difference in binding between E. coli expressing O35E-Hag (i.e. pELO35.Hag), O12E-Hag (i.e. pBBO12.Hag) or V1171-Hag (i.e. pSV1171.Hag) and the negative control is statistically significant.
