Abstract

We studied adherence to human cells by a strain of Escherichia coli. Adherence to erythrocytes was assessed directly by phase-contrast microscopy and indirectly by hemagglutination; adherence to peripheral blood leukocytes, using radiolabeled bacteria and subsequent determination of leukocyte-associated radioactivity; and adherence to renal glomeruli, by microscopy of fluoresceinated bacteria and of Gram-stained nonfluoresceinated bacteria.
