Abstract
In parallel with bacterial density, Bordetella bronchiseptica phase-I, X-mode cells adhered well to porcine nasal epithelial cells, whereas C-mode cells and variant cells in pahses II, III, and rough adhered feebly. Cell surface components, lost, on transition from X to C mode or from phase I to degraded phases, may confer much of the organism''s adherence ability.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
