Induction of Inflammation by Escherichia Coli at a Muscosal Site: Requirement for Adherence and Endotoxin

  • Conference paper
Bacteria, Complement and the Phagocytic Cell

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIH,volume 24))

Abstract

Most infectious agents enter the body via the mucosal surfaces. The host defense mechanisms at these sites combine to dislodge pathogens from the surface. Microorganisms resist elimination by attaching to components of the mucosal lining (1). The attachment can result from specific interactions of bacterial surface lectins with receptors consisting of oligosaccharide sequences in epithelial glycoconjugates (2).
