High Prevalence of Mucosa-Associated E. coli Producing Cyclomodulin and Genotoxin in Colon Cancer (original) (raw)
Figure 4
Adhesion ability of E. coli strains isolated from diverticulosis and CRC (proximal and distal) samples to Int-407 intestinal epithelial cells.
A, adhesion ability according to the specimen origin and E. coli phylogroup. B, Adhesion ability of E. coli strains isolated from diverticulosis and CRC (proximal and distal) samples and belonging to A and D phylogroups according to their ability to produce or not a cyclomodulin/genotoxin. The results are expressed as number of adherent bacteria per cell after 3 h infection period. Data are means+/−SEM for at least 3 independent experiments.
