Microbial adherence to vulvar epithelial cells.
Under uniform experimental conditions, different degrees of selective attachment of Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans to epithelial cells of the labium majus, the labium minus, and the vagina were compared and contrasted with those found in studies with cells of the buccal and nasal mucosa and forearm skin by a novel analysis of adherence density. For both micro-organisms, the larger, ...
متن کاملAdherence and Blocking of Candida Albicans to Cultured Vaginal Epithelial Cells: Treatments to Decrease Adherence
BACKGROUND Pathogenesis of mucosal microorganisms depends on adherence to the tissues they colonize and infect. For Candida albicans, cell surface hydrophobicity may play a significant role in tissue binding ability. METHODS A continuous cell line of vaginal epithelial cells (VEC) was grown in keratinocyte serum-free medium (KSFM) with supplements and harvested by trypsinization. VEC were com...
متن کاملPneumococcal adherence to the buccal epithelial cells of cigarette smokers.
Adherence to mucosal surfaces is necessary for bacterial colonization. The in-vitro adherence to type 25 Streptococcus pneumoniae to buccal epithelial cells was studied in 15 smokers, 15 nonsmokers, and 21 exsmokers. Background adherence in smokers and nonsmokers was similar, but smokers had a markedly increased pneumococcal adherence compared to nonsmokers (12.3 +/- 6.9 vs 0.7 +/- 0.4). This i...
متن کاملAdherence of Ureaplasma urealyticum to human epithelial cells.
Adherence of Ureaplasma urealyticum cells to eukaryotic cell monolayers was quantified using the Bertholet assay to monitor ammonia produced from urea by ureaplasma urease. Adherence was abolished by pre-treatment of ureaplasmas with HeLa cell extracts and inhibited to varying degrees by pretreatment of the ureaplasmas with N-acetylneuraminic acid, specific antisera and monoclonal antibodies. T...
متن کاملAdherence of skin bacteria to human epithelial cells.
Aerobic and anaerobic bacteria isolated from human axillae were tested for their capacity to adhere to buccal epithelial cells, immortalized human epithelial (HEp-2) cells, and undifferentiated and differentiated human epithelial cells. In general, both aerobic and anaerobic diphtheroids adhered better to differentiated human epithelial cells than to HEp-2 and undifferentiated human epithelial ...
