E. coli translocation and internalization, and epithelial permeability in Caco-2 monolayers treated with E. coli C25 alone (control) versus monolayers inoculated with E. coli C25 and C. jejuni 81-176
Control | C. jejuni | P | |
---|---|---|---|
Translocated E. coli (log10 CFU/mL) | 0.19 ± 0.19 | 1.42 ± 0.296 | 0.023 |
Internalized E. coli (log10 CFU/mL) | 3.66 ± 0.36 | 4.97 ± 0.07 | 0.023 |
Initial TER (Ω × cm2) | 298 ± 4.2 | 311 ± 9.4 | 0.28 |
Final TER (Ω × cm2) | 354 ± 19.7 | 335 ± 2.1 | 0.39 |
Permeability (% apical dextran recovered) | 0.95 ± 0.02 | 1.01 ± 0.02 | 0.13 |
