In vitro inhibition of adhesion of Escherichia coli strains by Xylitol

In vitro inhibition of adhesion of Escherichia coli strains by Xylitol

The present study aimed to evaluate xylitol's antimicrobial and anti-adherence activities on Escherichia coli (ATCC 8739) and on another clinical strain enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC). In vitro minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) test and adhesion assays were performed using 0.5, 2.5 and 5....
