In this study, the interactions of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157 strains with human ileocecal (HCT-8) epithelial cells and HEp-2 cells were examined. EHEC adhered to, but did not invade, HCT-8 cells by the localized adherence mechanism and a heretofore unrecognized pattern which we called log jam. The log jam formation was (i) not observed on HEp-2 cells, (ii) independent of the EHEC eaeA gene required for localized adherence, and (iii) shared by pathogenic and nonpathogenic E. coli strains but not K-12 strains. The log jam phenotype may represent a basal means by which E. coli bacteria attach to the human intestine.
在本研究中,对肠出血性大肠杆菌(EHEC)O157菌株与人回盲部(HCT-8)上皮细胞及人喉表皮样癌细胞(HEp-2细胞)之间的相互作用进行了检测。EHEC通过局部黏附机制以及一种我们称之为“堵塞”的前所未有的模式黏附于HCT-8细胞,但并未侵入细胞。“堵塞”的形成有以下特点:(i)在HEp-2细胞上未观察到;(ii)独立于局部黏附所需的EHEC eaeA基因;(iii)致病性和非致病性大肠杆菌菌株均有此现象,但K-12菌株没有。“堵塞”表型可能代表大肠杆菌附着于人类肠道的一种基本方式。
