Colonization of a three-dimensional (3D) intestinal tissue model with the foodborne pathogen Campylobacter jejuni
Confocal microscopy image of a tissue-engineered 3D intestinal infection model cultured under dynamic conditions after four days of infection with C. jejuni wild-type strain 81-176. Bacteria (green, visualized with an anti-C. jejuni antibody) accumulate in a crypt-like structure of the 3D tissue model. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue), and adherens junctions were imaged using an anti-E-cadherin antibody (magenta). Alzheimer et al.
