Ulcerative colitis and Escherichia coli with adhesive
نویسنده
چکیده
A quantitative assessment of the mannose resistant, adhesive property of Escherichia coli from patients with ulcerative colitis and from controls was made using a buccal epithelial cell adhesion assay, which also permitted assessment of adhesion to cells from other host sources. E coli from patients with ulcerative colitis adhered to buccal epithelial cells to a greater extent than those obtained from controls (p < 00001), but did not show an increased affinity for the buccal epithelial cell of their host, compared with those obtained from other sources. The mannose resistant adhesive property of E coli raises the possibility that it has a role in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis.

متن کاملHeLa cell and buccal epithelial cell adhesion assays for detecting intestinal Escherichia coli with adhesive properties in ulcerative colitis.
The two methods used to detect intestinal Escherichia coli in patients with ulcerative colitis, HeLa cell and buccal epithelial cell (BEC) adhesion assays, were compared. Both methods showed a significant difference between the adhesive property of colitic and control E coli: p less than 0.0002 and p less than 0.01 for the buccal epithelial cell and HeLa cell methods, respectively. HeLa cells d...
متن کاملHydrophobic adhesin of E coli in ulcerative colitis.
Pathogenic E coli have adhesive properties which are mirrored by an increase in their surface hydrophobicity. E coli isolated from patients with ulcerative colitis possess a mannose resistant adhesin similar to that found in pathogenic E coli. In this study 42 E coli isolates from patients with colitis have been compared with 15 from controls to assess hydrophobicity and cellular adherence. The...
متن کاملanastomosis: relation with functional outcome and inflammation
Restorative proctocolectomy with pelvic ileal reservoir is a weli accepted option for the surgical treatment of ulcerative colitis. Acute pouchitis is a common complication and resembles acute ulcerative colitis. Patients with ulcerative colitis carry Escherichia coli that adhere to epithelial cells and thus this study examined whether acute pouchitis is associated with the carriage of adhesive...
متن کاملVirulence properties of Escherichia coli strains isolated from patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
Escherichia coli strains cultured from 74 patients with inflammatory bowel disease at different stages of disease activity (Crohn's disease (40), ulcerative colitis (34)) and 18 healthy controls were studied in relation to haemolysin and verotoxin production and enteroadherence. Disease activity was assessed by standard clinical and laboratory tests. Haemolytic E coli were isolated from 18% of ...
