Adhesion of some probiotic and dairy Lactobacillus strains to Caco-2 cell culturesE M Tuomola
Department of Biochemistry and Food Chemistry, University of Turku, Finland
Int J Food Microbiol 41:45-51. 1998..acidophilus 1 which was 74% viable. Microscopic evaluations agreed with the radiolabelled binding as evidenced by observing more bacteria in Gram-stained preparations of good adhering strains compared to poorly adhering strains...
Human ileostomy glycoproteins as a model for small intestinal mucus to investigate adhesion of probioticsE M Tuomola
Department of Biochemistry and Food Chemistry, University of Turku, Finland
Lett Appl Microbiol 28:159-63. 1999..These results indicate that human ileostomy glycoproteins can be used as a model system to select potential probiotic strains to complement the adhesion test with intestinal cell lines...
The effect of probiotic bacteria on the adhesion of pathogens to human intestinal mucusE M Tuomola
Department of Biochemistry and Food Chemistry, University of Turku, FIN 20014, Turku, Finland
FEMS Immunol Med Microbiol 26:137-42. 1999..johnsonii LJ1 and L. casei Shirota. Lactobacillus GG and L. rhamnosus (human isolate) increased the adhesion of S. typhimurium suggesting that the pathogen interacts with the probiotic...
Chemical, physical and enzymatic pre-treatments of probiotic lactobacilli alter their adhesion to human intestinal mucus glycoproteinsE M Tuomola
Department of Biochemistry and Food Chemistry, University of Turku, Finland
Int J Food Microbiol 60:75-81. 2000..Treatment in ethanol and in propanol prior to adhesion significantly increased the adhesion of LA1 and LC-705, respectively. Adhesion of Shirota strain was not altered by any of the treatments...
In vitro adhesion and platelet aggregation properties of bacteremia-associated lactobacilliP V Kirjavainen
Department of Biochemistry and Food Chemistry, University of Turku, Turku, Finland
Infect Immun 67:2653-5. 1999..In conclusion, strong binding ability does not appear to be a prerequisite for the involvement of lactobacilli in bacteremia or to their ability to aggregate platelets...
Assessment of adhesion properties of novel probiotic strains to human intestinal mucusA C Ouwehand
Department of Biochemistry and Food Chemistry, University of Turku, Finland
Int J Food Microbiol 64:119-26. 2001..The growth media and the food matrix significantly affect the adhesive ability of the tested strains. This has previously not been taken into account when selecting novel probiotic strains...
