Abstract 14 strains of Campylobacter isolated from humans and birds were tested for adhesion on intestine cell line. All the strains showed quick adhesion which was inhibited by l-fucose (6-deoxy-l-galactopyranose), among the sugars and lectins used in the adhesion inhibition assay. Inhibition was a function of l-fucose concentration and was not complete, suggesting that beside l-fucose other receptors—or nonspecific interactions—may cooperate in the cell binding by Campylobacter.
