Abstract: A method of analysing gene expression occurring in a microorganism before, during or after contact with or adhesion of the microorganism to a lipid bilayer, comprising the step of exposing the microorganism to a lipid bilayer, wherein the lipid bilayer is substantially not associated with protein or RNA synthetic machinery. The lipid bilayer may be a red blood cell membrane, for example in the form of intact red blood cells. The red blood cells may be immobilised as a monolayer. The microorganism may be an enteropathogenic or enterohaemorrhagic E. coli. A DNA or protein microarray may be used in analysing gene expression.

Abstract: The invention is related to antibodies, particularly monoclonal antibodies, which recognize particularly epitopes of the intimin protein of enteropathogenic E. coli and enterohemorrhagic E. coli, methods of detecting such E. coli by use of these antibodies, and kits containing these antibodies for diagnosis.
