We used a gentamicin protection assay to assess the ability of gestational pyelonephritis isolates of Escherichia coli to invade HeLa cells. The ability to enter HeLa cells was strongly associated with the presence of Dr operons coding for Dr adhesins. In contrast, the nonivasive isolates predominantly expressed papG, coding for P fimbriae.
我们采用庆大霉素保护试验来评估妊娠期肾盂肾炎大肠杆菌分离株侵袭HeLa细胞的能力。进入HeLa细胞的能力与编码Dr黏附素的Dr操纵子的存在密切相关。相比之下,非侵袭性分离株主要表达编码P菌毛的papG。
