Chemical Nature and Cellular Location of Adhesins of E. Coli

摘要: The term adhesion describes a specific interaction of bacterial recognition proteins (adhesins) with the carbohydrate moiety glycoproteins or glycolipids on mammalian cells. Adhesion pathogenic bacteria to epithelial cells initiates infective process, enabling withstand rinsing forces body fluids optimize delivery toxins target It can also be considered as first stage in invasion. A function hitherto less appreciated may acquisition nutritional advantages substratum rich nutrients.
