Distinct Patterns of Host Adherence by Neisseria gonorrhoeae Isolated from Experimental Gonorrhea

Figure 2

Light micrograph showing the patterns of adherence of reisolates to human conjunctiva cells ((a–g) represent MS11, G29, 4R1, SA, 7uB, 6uF, and V3, resp.). After the 5 h adherence assay, nonadherent bacteria were removed by washing three times with sterilized PBS. Cells were stained with a modified Wright stain and viewed under light microscopy. Scale bar: 10 μm.
