A shear stress micromodel of urinary tract infection by the Escherichia coli producing Dr adhesin
Fig 5
Shear stress induces moving of Dr+ bacteria on the surface of the T24 cell layer.
Representative 1-dimensional trajectories of individual bacteria bound to the confluent layer of T24 cells at shear stress of 0.14, 0.28 and 0.58 pN μm-2. An asterisk (*) indicates detachment event. Trajectories were obtained from time-lapse videos of Dr+ E. coli bound to T24 cells, as described in Fig 2A.
