The adhesive capacity of Escherichia coli is influenced by the supernatant of cell culture. (A, B) Effect of cell culture supernatant on the adhesive capacity of EPEC E. coli. (C, D) Effect of cell culture supernatant on the adhesive capacity of commensal E. coli. HT29 cells were treated with benzyl-α-GalNAc and/or D galactose for 48 h. EPEC, enteropathogenic Escherichia coli. Differences among the multiple groups were analyzed by one-way ANOVA. NS, not significant; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001
