FIG. 1.
Adhesion schemes of diarrheagenic E. coli. The six recognized categories of diarrheagenic E. coli strains have unique mechanisms of adhesion to eukaryotic cells. Here, the interaction mediated by specific fimbrial or nonfimbrial adhesins with a typical target cell is schematically represented. A model for the early and later events in EPEC, EHEC, and ETEC adhesion to host cells is included (panels A and B).
