Atypical Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli Strains form Biofilm on Abiotic Surfaces Regardless of Their Adherence Pattern on Cultured Epithelial Cells

Figure 2

Biofilm formation by 91 aEPEC strains on an abiotic surface by CV assay and their association with adherence pattern on HEp-2 cells. LAL: localized-like adherence; NA: nonadherent; AA: aggregative adherence; UND: undetermined adherence; DA: diffuse adherence; LA: localized adherence.
