Adhesion of Helicobacter pylori to yeast cells

摘要: In order to get information as whether direct interaction of H. pylori and yeasts may modulate the course infections, adhesion C. albicans, glabrata, guilliermondii, krusei, parapsilosis, tropicalis S. cereviseae was investigated. adhered significantly more frequently (adhesion ratio > 10%) than other ratios < 5%). On an average, no significant difference E. coli aureus found. Electron microscopic examinations showed that cells contacted either by knob-like structures or close surface-to-surface adhesion. Cholesterol-depleted yeast cholesterol-carrying cells. There indication a cooperation with plays role in infections.
