Abstract

Fimbriated and fimbria-less strains of Escherichia coli were isolated from urine of pyelonephritis patients, labelled with bromodeoxyuridine and their adhesion to human umbillical vein endothelial cells was studied employing ELISA and immunocytochemistry. No significant differences were noted in adhesion of the two types of strains.
