Fig. 4

Effects of pili on GC interactions with T 84 monolayers.

(A) Adherence and invasion of (●) MS11A and (◯) MS11-306 assayed with T84 cells grown on plastic. CA, cell-associated; GR, gentamicin resistant. Each point shows mean + SEM of determinations from three or four independent experiments, each done at the least in triplicate. (B) Invasion indices. Invasion data from Panel A are shown normalized against adherence (intracellular CFU/cell-associated CFU). (C) Time course of traversal across T84 monolayers by the same strains. Data are presented as in Fig. 1.
