Role of capsular colanic acid in adhesion of uropathogenic Escherichia coli
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on bacterial adhesion of uropathogenic Escherichia coli. The authors describe the use of atomic force microscope in measuring the reversible physiochemical interactions between bacteria and different substrates, and report that this study will be used for the development of adhesion-resistant materials and methods for reduction of urinary catheters' infections.

Ubiquity and persistence of Escherichia coli in a midwestern coastal stream
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on Escherichia coli in a coastal stream of Lake Michigan. The authors have investigated the sources of elevated E. coli levels in the stream, and they have concluded that the ditching of the stream, increased drainage and loss of wetlands may be the cause of chronically high E. coli levels.
