Abstract

The attachment of a clinical isolate of Vibrio parahaemolyticus to brush border membranes isolated from rabbits was studied, using transmission electron microscopy. The bacterial cells adhered to the brush borders, apparently with a small space between the cell wall and the surface of the microvilli. No extracellular structures were seen to be involved in the process of adhesion.
