Summary

Kanagawa positive strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus showed adherence whereas most of the Kanagawa negative strains were non-adhering to rabbit intestinal epithelial cells. Anti-hemolysin antisera did not inhibit the adherence of V. parahaemolyticus strains. Moreover, the adhesive capacity of non-adhering strains was not enhanced by purified hemolysin. Cell surface hydrophobicity remained the same in both Kanagawa positive and negative strains of V. parahaemolyticus. Fetuin strongly inhibited the adherence to rabbit intestinal epithelial cells followed by -mannose and d-glucose.
