Measuring bacterial adherence and invasion of cells in vitro has enabled researchers to dissect the interactions of Campylobacter jejuni with eukaryotic cells. Numerous C. jejuni virulence determinants and host cell factors that contribute to the process of adherence, invasion, and immune modulation have been identified utilizing in vitro adherence and invasion assays. In this chapter, we describe the evaluation of C. jejuni adherence to and invasion of HeLa cells using the gentamicin-protection assay.
