[Adherence of bacteria to epithelial cells of the rumen wall].

A method was developed for the quality and quantity testing of the adherence of bacteria to epithelial cells isolated from the rumen wall of sheep and cows. It was possible by this method to include the tested strains of Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Bacteroides, Staphylococcus and Escherichia microorganisms in groups of highly adherent, intermediate and slightly adherent microorganisms. The possibilities of using this method for the study of influencing the adherence of epimural rumen bacteria are studied.
