Dancing with the Host Flow-Dependent Bacterial Adhesion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most bacteria that colonize eukaryotes must bind directly to host cells to establish a replicative niche. In enteric bacteria, adhesion to host cells is often promoted by a lectin found on surface-localized pili. Some pili promote efficient adhesion only when they are subjected to shear stress, as found during the flow of blood over endothelium or mucous over the surface of the epithelium.

Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) for the Evaluation of Shear-Force-Dependent Bacterial Adhesion
The colonization of Escherichia coli (E. coli) to host cell surfaces is known to be a glycan-specific process that can be modulated by shear stress. In this work we investigate whether flow rate changes in microchannels integrated on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) surfaces would allow for investigating such processes in an easy and high-throughput manner. We demonstrate that adhesion of uropat...
متن کاملRole of capsular colanic acid in adhesion of uropathogenic Escherichia coli.
Urinary tract infections are the most common urologic disease in the United States and one of the most common bacterial infections of any organ system. Biofilms persist in the urinary tract and on catheter surfaces because biofilm microorganisms are resistant to host defense mechanisms and antibiotic therapy. The first step in the establishment of biofilm infections is bacterial adhesion; preve...
متن کاملIn Vitro and In Vivo Model to Study Bacterial Adhesion to the Vessel Wall Under Flow Conditions
In order to cause endovascular infections and infective endocarditis, bacteria need to be able to adhere to the vessel wall while being exposed to the shear stress of flowing blood. To identify the bacterial and host factors that contribute to vascular adhesion of microorganisms, appropriate models that study these interactions under physiological shear conditions are needed. Here, we describe ...
متن کاملDistribution of virulence adhesion associated genes and antimicrobial susceptibility in Pasteurella multocida from ovine pasteurellosis in Iran
Pasteurella multocida is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for pneumonia of lambs and goats, respiratory atrophic rhinitis of swine. Although the molecular basis of the pathogenicity and host specificity of P. multocida is not well understood, several studies have reported that a number of proteins are correlated with the pathogenic mechanisms. Adhesins have a crucial role in mediating colo...
متن کاملModulation of host cell membrane fluidity: a novel mechanism for preventing bacterial adhesion.
Adhesion of bacterial enteropathogens to host mucosal surfaces is a critical primary step in the pathogenesis of diarrheal disease. We investigated the effects of altering the physical properties of eukaryotic cells on bacterial adhesion with the use of a series of three structurally dissimilar membrane fluidizers and several Escherichia coli as test strains. Lipid fluidity of the cell plasma m...
