Mannose-sensitive adherence of Escherichia coli to epithelial cells from women with recurrent urinary tract infections. 1984

A J Schaeffer, and J S Chmiel, and J L Duncan, and W S Falkowski

The effect of D-mannose on adherence of 73 Escherichia coli strains to vaginal and buccal epithelial cells from women with recurrent urinary tract infections, and on agglutination of human and guinea pig erythrocytes was tested. Urinary, vaginal or anal isolates from women with such infections were used. Of the strains 66 (90 per cent) demonstrated adherence to epithelial cells. D-mannose inhibited completely the adherence of 25 strains (42 per cent) that adhered to vaginal cells and inhibited an additional 11 strains (18 per cent) by at least 50 per cent. Similar results were obtained with buccal cells. The inhibitory effect of D-mannose was similar regardless of the origin of the strains. Hemagglutination frequently was inhibited by D-mannose but no consistent association between hemagglutination, and epithelial cell adherence and the effect of D-mannose was observed. The results suggest that mannose-sensitive as well as mannose-resistant adhesins frequently mediate Escherichia coli adherence to vaginal epithelial cells, and may contribute to vaginal colonization and cystitis.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
