Abstract excerpt
To gain an understanding of the role of fimbriae and flagella in the adherence of Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis to inanimate surfaces, the extent of adherence of viable wild-type strains to a polystyrene microtitration plate was determined by a crystal violet staining assay. Elaboration of surface antigens by adherent bacteria was assayed by fimbriae- and flagella-specific ELISAs. Wild-type Enteritidis...
