The ability of piliated and capsulated Bacteroides fragilis and Bacteroides ovatus to adhere to intestinal cells and mucus was investigated. The adherence of piliated and capsulated strains was at least five times greater than the adherence of their nonpiliated and noncapsulated or capsulated only counterparts. These data illustrate the importance of pili as promoters of adherence of B. fragilis group species to the gastrointestinal mucosa.
对具纤毛和荚膜的脆弱拟杆菌及卵形拟杆菌黏附肠道细胞和黏液的能力进行了研究。具纤毛和荚膜菌株的黏附能力至少是其无纤毛、无荚膜或仅具荚膜的对应菌株的五倍。这些数据表明纤毛作为脆弱拟杆菌属物种黏附胃肠道黏膜促进因子的重要性。
