In 44 isolated cultures of Gram-negative bacteria, besides commonly known pathogenicity factors, their adhesive activity towards the cells of the buccal epithelium and their interrelations with the representatives of normal microflora which determine natural resistance to colonization have been studied. The artificial adhesion of target cells is accompanied by the inhibition on the natural colonization of epithelial cells by Streptococcus salivarius; it is, therefore, evident that adhesiveness is one of the factors which determine the behavior of microorganisms in cenoses. The circulation of adhesive strains of Gram-negative bacteria has been noted in the burn ward. 相似文献

Adhesion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains to buccal epithelial cells appears to be a necessary precondition for colonization and infection of respiratory tract. There are many strategies to prevent host organisms for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The purpose of these studies was to evaluate the potential for preventing adhesion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to epithelial cells with dextran. Dextran (5,000 MW) inhibited adhesion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to buccal cells, at 20 mM was most inhibitory. The inhibitory effect appeared to be nonspecific because other neutral polysaccharides (glycogen and mannan) were also inhibitory. Dextran is an inexpansive and nontoxic agent and may be useful to prevent colonization and infection of respiratory tract with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate adherence of 83 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from humans and different animals to trypsin-treated buccal cells. We have demonstrated that Pseudomonas aeruginosa attached to trypsin-treated buccal cells in far greater numbers than to cells from controls (normal buccal epithelial cells). The mean number of bacteria adhering to trypsin-treated cells amounted 107.05 +/- 102.16 and to normal cells - 6.97 +/- 3.53. We conclude that exposure of cells to proteolytic enzymes increases Pseudomonas aeruginosa binding to buccal cells. 相似文献

Candida albicans and Streptococcus salivarius modulate IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-alpha expression and secretion by engineered human oral mucosa cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We investigated the involvement of oral epithelial cells via two cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-alpha) and one chemokine (IL-8) in local defences against live yeast (Candida albicans) and bacteria (Streptococcus salivarius) using an engineered human oral mucosa model. We report that the yeast changed from the blastospore to the hyphal form and induced significant tissue disorganization at later contact periods (24 and 48 h) compared to the bacteria. However, this effect did not reduce the viability or total number of epithelial cells. Gene activation analyses revealed that IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-alpha mRNA levels rose in tissues in contact with live C. albicans or S. salivarius. Gene activation was followed by an upregulation of protein secretion. IL-6 levels were higher after contact with C. albicans than with S. salivarius. IL-8 levels after contact with S. salivarius were higher than with C. albicans. Our study suggests that S. salivarius is more efficient at inducing proinflammatory mediator release than C. albicans. These results provide additional evidence for the contribution of oral epithelial cells to the inflammatory response against fungi and bacteria. 相似文献

Fibrillar and fimbriate strains of Streptococcus salivarius were compared for their ability to adhere to buccal epithelial cells and saliva-coated hydroxyapatite beads, and for their ability to coaggregate with Veillonella strains. The fibrillar Lancefield group K strains adhered statistically significantly better to both buccal epithelial cells and saliva-coated hydroxyapatite beads than the fimbriate strains, which lacked the Lancefield group K antigen. After 1 h the fibrillar strains coaggregated statistically significantly better than the fimbriate strains with V. parvula strain V1, but after 24 h, coaggregation both of fibrillar and of fimbriate strains reached approximately 90%. Freshly isolated Veillonella strains all coaggregated with the S. salivarius strains, but the percentage coaggregation varied considerably after 1 h depending on the Veillonella strain. Coaggregation was independent of the presence of Ca2+. S. salivarius strain HB-V5, a mutant of strain HB that had lost the Veillonella-binding protein, coaggregated weakly with V. parvula strain V1, but coaggregated very well with other wild-type veillonellae, suggesting the presence of an alternative mechanism for Veillonella-binding for strain HB. Fibrillar strains were, therefore, more adhesive to oral surfaces and coaggregated with veillonellae after 1 h better than the fimbriate S. salivarius strains. Both fibrillar and fimbriate strains were highly hydrophobic in the hexadecane-buffer partition assay. 相似文献

A new assay was used to study the adhesion ofStreptococcus pyogenes strains to epithelial cells. [3H]thymidine-labeled bacteria were incubated with standardized preparations of epithelial cells collected from oral-pharyngeal surfaces of human volunteers. The mixtures were then centrifuged in 50% Percoll to form a density gradient. Epithelial cells with attached bacteria formed a band near the top of the tube, whereas unattached bacteria were located near the bottom. The epithelial cells were collected on membrane filters, and the number of adherent bacteria was then determined by scintillation counting.The abilities of M-protein-positive (M+) and M-protein-negative (M–) strains ofS. pyogenes to attach to human pharyngeal, buccal, and tongue epithelial cells were compared. The results obtained confirmed the significant difference previously shown to exist between the attachment of M+ and M– strains to human epithelial cells. M+ strains ofS. pyogenes exhibited a much greater ability to bind to pharyngeal epithelial cells than did M– variants. Also, M+ strains were bound in higher numbers to pharyngeal epithelial cells than to buccal or tongue epithelial cells. The adhesion ofS. pyogenes strains to epithelial cells was time dependent, and a significant increase in the adhesion of M+ strains occurred after 3–4 h of exposure of the bacteria to epithelial cells.The adsorption ofS. pyogenes strains to epithelial cells was described by a Langmuir isotherm. With this model, the number of binding sites and the affinities of the streptococci for epithelial cells were estimated. Significantly higher numbers of binding sites were calculated to be present on pharyngeal epithelial cells for M+ strains ofS. pyogenes than on buccal cells. However, the affinity of the organisms was similar for both types of cells.Adsorption of M+ strains to human pharyngeal epithelial cells was inhibited by certain galactosides and fucose, but not by glucose or xylose. This suggests that saccharide moities play a role in the binding of M+ strains ofS. pyogenes to human pharyngeal epithelial cells. 相似文献

There are numerous reports documenting the correlation between Streptococcus bovis bacteraemia and endocarditis in conjunction with colonic diseases. The adherence of S. bovis to either buccal or intestinal epithelial cells seems to be the initial process in colonization and subsequent infection of the host, allowing further adhesion of S. bovis to either endothelial cells or extracellular matrix components which leads to infective endocarditis. Bacterial entry at tumour sites is further assisted by the local action of cytokines that promotes vasodilatation and increased capillary permeability. Thus the ability of S. bovis to adhere to and to stimulate human cells may contribute to the pathogenicity of this bacteria. In the present study, we have shown the ability of S. bovis and wall-extracted antigens (WEA) to adhere to human buccal (KB) or intestinal (Caco-2) epithelial cell lines, to human saphenous vein endothelial cells, to human monocytic cell line (THP-1) and to extracellular matrix components (ECM) (fibronectin, collagen and laminin). The fixation of S. bovis on cells was followed by the synthesis of IL-8 from all the cells except Caco-2, whereas S. bovis WEA was able to induce cytokine synthesis from all of them, showing the immunomodulatory effect of S. bovis and S. bovis WEA on different cells. 相似文献

Exfoliated buccal epithelial cells have been widely used in microbial adherence studies, but present a number of problems due to their variable nature and to contamination with indigenous bacteria. An adherence assay was developed using HeLa cell monolayers which were washed with buffer, or treated with saliva or serum to mimic buccal or crevicular epithelial cells, respectively. A total of eighteen strains of oral bacteria tested showed a low affinity for untreated HeLa cells, but most strains adhered in high numbers to saliva treated HeLa cells. A few strains, usually present in the gingival crevice, demonstrated a high affinity for serum treated HeLa cells. Thus, salivary and crevicular fluid components appear to be specifically implicated in the selective adherence and colonization of bacteria on oral surfaces. 相似文献

Light and electron microscopy showed lactobacilli and, to a lesser degree, streptococci to be closely associated with the squamous area of the pig stomach known as the pars esophagea. Several different types of extracellular layers were seen on bacteria attached to the epithelial surface. The total number of bacteria per square centimeter did not change with age up to 10 days, and there was no effect of weaning at 2 days. Lactobacillus fermentum, L. salivarius, and Streptococcus salivarius were isolated more frequently from sucking pigs than from those that were early weaned, whereas the reverse was true of L. acidophilus and S. bovis. All isolates recovered from washed macerated pars esophagea adhered to pig esophageal epithelial cells when tested in vitro. 相似文献

In the period of the exacerbation of bronchial asthma an increased adhesiveness (in vitro) of buccal epithelial cells to C. albicans was noted in most children under study (94.7%). This phenomenon was not observed in children with the exacerbation of gastroduodenitis. The characteristics of natural bacterial colonization of buccal epithelium were equally decreased in both groups of patients. These results are regarded as the consequence of the reactive involvement of the epithelium of mucoid tract in the processes destabilizing homeostasis. 相似文献

Ruthenium red staining revealed both the long and short classes of cell surface fibril in thin sections of Streptococcus salivarius HB, indicating that the fibrils contained polyanionic polymers, probably polysaccharides. Also visible was a 16.2 +/- 2.2 nm thick ruthenium red staining layer (RRL) outside the 16.7 +/- 2.2 nm thick cell wall. The fibrils could not be seen after conventional glutaraldehyde and osmium fixation. The RRL was protease resistant and was not involved in septum formation. Loss of the fibrils after protease treatment coincided with a decrease of 54% in cell surface hydrophobicity, indicating that cell surface hydrophobicity was due partly to fibrils and partly to the RRL. There was no correlation between the lengths of fibrils as measured on whole cells after negative staining and on thin sections of ruthenium red stained cells. The thickness of the RRL was the same in three adhesion deficient mutants--strains HB-7, HB-V5 and HB-V51--with various fibril lengths. However, a completely bald mutant, HB-B, had a significantly thicker RRL than S. salivarius HB, although it was unable to adhere to buccal epithelial cells, and it could not co-aggregate with Veillonella parvula V1. The RRL therefore did not contain adhesins. 相似文献

AIMS: To determine whether dosing with bacteriocin-producing Streptococcus salivarius following an antimicrobial mouthwash effects a change in oral malodour parameters and in the composition of the oral microbiota of subjects with halitosis. MATERIALS AND RESULTS: Twenty-three subjects with halitosis undertook a 3-day regimen of chlorhexidine (CHX) mouth rinsing, followed at intervals by the use of lozenges containing either S. salivarius K12 or placebo. Assessment of the subjects' volatile sulphur compound (VSC) levels 1 week after treatment initiation showed that 85% of the K12-treated group and 30% of the placebo group had substantial (>100 ppb) reductions. The bacterial composition of the saliva was monitored by culture and PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE). Changes in the PCR-DGGE profiles occurred in most subjects following K12 treatment. In vitro testing showed that S. salivarius K12 suppressed the growth of black-pigmented bacteria in saliva samples and also in various reference strains of bacteria implicated in halitosis. CONCLUSIONS: Administration of bacteriocin-producing S. salivarius after an oral antimicrobial mouthwash reduces oral VSC levels. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The outcome of this preliminary study indicates that the replacement of bacteria implicated in halitosis by colonization with competitive bacteria such as S. salivarius K12 may provide an effective strategy to reduce the severity of halitosis. 相似文献

The primary habitats of oral veillonellae are the tongue, dental plaque, and the buccal mucosa. Isolates were obtained from each habitat and tested for coaggregation with a battery of other oral bacterial strains. All 59 tongue isolates tested for coaggregation were Veillonella atypica or Veillonella dispar. All but one of them coaggregated with strains of Streptococcus salivarius, a predominant inhabitant of the tongue surface but not subgingival dental plaque. These tongue isolates were unable to coaggregate with most normal members of the subgingival flora such as Actinomyces viscosus, Actinomyces naeslundii, Actinomyces israelii, and Streptococcus sanguis. In contrast, 24 of 29 Veillonella isolates, of which 20 were Veillonella parvula from subgingival dental plaque samples, coaggregated strongly with the three species of Actinomyces, S. sanguis, and other bacteria usually present in subgingival plaque, but they did not coaggregate with S. salivarius. The majority of isolates from the buccal mucosa (42 of 55) has coaggregation properties like those from the tongue. These results indicate that the three human oral Veillonella species are distributed on oral surfaces that are also occupied by their coaggregation partners and thus provide strong evidence that coaggregation plays a critical role in the bacterial ecology of the oral cavity. 相似文献

In addition to its antibacterial activity, the cathelicidin-derived LL-37 peptide induces multiple immunomodulatory effects on host cells. Atomic force microscopy, F-actin staining with phalloidin, passage of FITC-conjugated dextran through a monolayer of lung epithelial cells, and assessment of bacterial outgrowth from cells subjected to Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection were used to determine LL-37's effect on epithelial cell mechanical properties, permeability, and bacteria uptake. A concentration-dependent increase in stiffness and F-actin content in the cortical region of A549 cells and primary human lung epithelial cells was observed after treatment with LL-37 (0.5-5 μM), sphingosine 1-phosphate (1 μM), or LPS (1 μg/ml) or infection with PAO1 bacteria. Other cationic peptides, such as RK-31, KR-20, or WLBU2, and the antibacterial cationic steroid CSA-13 did not reproduce the effect of LL-37. A549 cell pretreatment with WRW4, an antagonist of the transmembrane formyl peptide receptor-like 1 protein attenuated LL-37's ability to increase cell stiffness. The LL-37-mediated increase in cell stiffness was accompanied by a decrease in permeability and P. aeruginosa uptake by a confluent monolayer of polarized normal human bronchial epithelial cells. These results suggested that the antibacterial effect of LL-37 involves an LL-37-dependent increase in cell stiffness that prevents epithelial invasion by bacteria. 相似文献

The colonization efficacies of salivaricin A (SalA)-producing Streptococcus salivarius strains 20P3 and 5 were compared when given in milk to 219 children, using either 2-day or 9-day dosing regimens. Colonization levels overall were superior for strain 5, and the 9-day dosing schedule resulted in higher levels of both initial colonization and strain persistence. The indigenous streptococcal tongue populations of 20 (10.9%) of the 189 children in the 2-day trial showed markedly increased SalA-like inhibitory activity following use of the S. salivarius-supplemented milk. All 20 of these children were found to have had relatively small (<5% of total S. salivarius) indigenous tongue populations of SalA-producing S. salivarius, and the relative proportions and/or inhibitory activity of these SalA producers on the childrens' tongues increased following ingestion of the S. salivarius-supplemented milk. Because SalA is known to be strongly inhibitory to Streptococcus pyogenes, an important implication of this study is that the consumption of SalA-producing probiotic S. salivarius could potentially help to effect a sustained increase in SalA-mediated protection against S. pyogenes infection. 相似文献

Bacteria of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia have been isolated with increasing frequency from the airways of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, usually following P. aeruginosa infections, but their adherence to human epithelial respiratory cells has never been investigated. In this study, various S. maltophilia strains were seen to adhere to epithelial respiratory cells in vitro, mainly along intercellular junctions. Bacteria could also enter into host cells, as determined by the gentamicin exclusion assay and transmission electron microscopy. Cells co-incubated with P. aeruginosa and S. maltophilia exhibited a significantly decreased adherence of these latter bacteria. No decrease in S. maltophilia adherence was observed when co-infection was carried out with heat-killed P. aeruginosa or when respiratory cells were first incubated with P. aeruginosa, before incubation with S. maltophilia. Our data suggest that P. aeruginosa infections do not account for the increased prevalence of S. maltophilia in CF patient airways, that thermolabile products from P. aeruginosa can control the adherence of S. maltophilia to respiratory cells and also that these two bacteria do not compete for cell receptors. 相似文献

To determine whether competition among bacteria for specific attachment sites on host cells can explain bacterial interference, Staphylococcus aureus strain 502A was tested in turn against two different nasal coryneforms, a strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and a virulent strain of S. aureus, all in the presence of nasal mucosal cells. Particularly examined was the influence of sequence in which bacteria were presented to the nasal cells in comparison with initial mixtures and individual suspensions. Results paralleled those observed in clinical prophylaxis: the bacterium first to adhere to the epithelial cells was able, under uniform conditions, to interfere with the colonization of subsequently added bacteria. Secondary adherence was not eliminated but substantially reduced, and was probably related to steric blockage by the initial colonizer and its particular ability to dissociate from the host cell. 相似文献

The adherence of Candida albicans to any cell is considered essential in the process that leads to colonization. Our objective in this study was to evaluate the effect of different carbohydrates and the presence of lactobacilli and Escherichia coli on the in vitro adherence of Candida albicans. The adherence to buccal epithelial cells was higher when growing at concentrations of galactose of 50, and 200 mM, as well as 50, 200, and 500 mM of sucrose, and 500 mM of mannose, compared with that obtained when growing in Sabouraud dextrose broth (p < 0.01). The presence of other microorganisms, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and L. casei, caused a decrease in the in vitro adherence of C. albicans to buccal epithelial cells (p < 0.05), whereas E. coli did not modify this adherence at all. 相似文献

Recent studies have suggested that the topical application of probiotic bacteria can improve skin health or combat disease. We have utilized a primary human keratinocyte culture model to investigate whether probiotic bacteria can inhibit Staphylococcus aureus infection. Evaluation of the candidate probiotics Lactobacillus reuteri ATCC 55730, Lactobacillus rhamnosus AC413, and Lactobacillus salivarius UCC118 demonstrated that both L. reuteri and L. rhamnosus, but not L. salivarius, reduced S. aureus-induced keratinocyte cell death in both undifferentiated and differentiated keratinocytes. Keratinocyte survival was significantly higher if the probiotic was applied prior to (P < 0.01) or simultaneously with (P < 0.01) infection with S. aureus but not when added after infection had commenced (P > 0.05). The protective effect of L. reuteri was not dependent on the elaboration of inhibitory substances such as lactic acid. L. reuteri inhibited adherence of S. aureus to keratinocytes by competitive exclusion (P = 0.026). L. salivarius UCC118, however, did not inhibit S. aureus from adhering to keratinocytes (P > 0.05) and did not protect keratinocyte viability. S. aureus utilizes the α5β1 integrin to adhere to keratinocytes, and blocking of this integrin resulted in a protective effect similar to that observed with probiotics (P = 0.03). This suggests that the protective mechanism for L. reuteri-mediated protection of keratinocytes was by competitive exclusion of the pathogen from its binding sites on the cells. Our results suggest that use of a topical probiotic prophylactically could inhibit the colonization of skin by S. aureus and thus aid in the prevention of infection. 相似文献
