Escherichia coli K5 capsule expression enhances colonization of the large intestine in the gnotobiotic rat.
The role of capsule expression in the capacity of Escherichia coli to colonize in the large intestinal environment was studied in a gnotobiotic rat model. The rats were given perorally a mixture of two mutant strains differing in K5 expression. After 2 weeks, the rats were sacrificed, and subsequent...
