Two assays were developed to quantitate the adherence of an Escherichia coli strain (RDEC-1) known to colonize the mucosal surface of the small intestine of rabbits to brush borders isolated from rabbit intestinal epithelial cells. In the first assay, the mean adherence per rabbi...

Highly purified human thrombin stimulates the adherence of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) to vascular endothelial cells (EC). When Indium-labeled PMNs were incubated with primary monolayers of cultured human umbilical vein EC, the basal adherence was 10 +/- 1% of the PMNs at...

Abstract Objectives Adherence problems have a great impact on auto-immune Rheumatic Diseases (AIRD). The COVID-19 pandemic may have worsened treatment adherence. The aims of this study were to measure treatment adherence to identify an earlier risk of poor adherence and measure ...

The mechanism of Eikenella corrodens adherence to human buccal epithelial cells in vitro was studied. Initial experiments to determine the optimal conditions for adherence of E. corrodens to buccal epithelial cells showed that adherence was dependent on time, temperature, bacteri...

Factors affecting the adherence of group B streptococci to human vaginal epithelial cells in vitro were examined. Maximal adherence was achieved within 15 min of incubation of bacteria with epithelial cells. Adherence was temperature and pH dependent; maximal adherence occurred a...

The rat bladder epithelial cell receptors involved in mannose-sensitive adherence of Escherichia coli strains were studied. Sodium metaperiodate and lipase pretreatment of epithelial cells significantly reduced bacterial adherence to cells whereas trypsin and phospholipase C had ...

Abstract Background Successful treatment of HIV-positive children requires a high level of adherence (at least 95%) to highly active antiretroviral therapy. Adherence is influenced by factors related to the child and caregivers. Objectives To evaluate children and caregivers ch...

The adherence of Streptococcus mutans to hydroxyapatite was studied in the presence of salivary fractions with varying activity of naturally occurring immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies. Human parotid saliva from different donors was fractionated by chromatography and compared. Sa...

The effect of orally administered glucocorticoids on polymorphonuclear leukocyte adherence was studied by using the nylon fiber adherence assay. Inhibition of adherence 4 h after administration of the agent was confirmed, and in addition, augmentation of adherence was noted 24 h ...

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains express a variety of adhesins, including members of the Dr adhesin family such as the Dr hemagglutinin, AFAI, and AFAIII. Certain E. coli adhesins (e.g., type 1 and S fimbriae) are known to mediate adherence to human polymorphonuclear leukoc...

The adherence of group A streptococci to epithelial cells was studied by using streptococcal strains labeled with [3H]uridine or fluorescein isothiocyanate. The ability of the labeled organisms to adhere to Detroit 562 epithelial cells, derived from a human pharyngeal carcinoma, ...

Adherence to antidepressants is crucial for optimal treatment outcomes when treating depressive disorders. However, poor adherence is common among patients prescribed antidepressants. This targeted review summarizes the main factors associated with poor adherence, interventions t...

OBJECTIVES: Evaluate adherence to the therapeutic prophylaxis protocol for venous thromboembolism (VTE) as well as the costs of this practice. METHODS: A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted at a State General Hospital in Brazil through reports of drug dispension...

Adherence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa organisms to the upper respiratory epithelium of seriously ill patients in vitro is correlated with subsequent colonization of the respiratory tract by this opportunistic pathogen. The role of pili in the attachment to epithelial cells of P. ae...

An Escherichia coli strain (serotype O127a:H2) that had been isolated from a child with diarrhea in Thailand and that was negative for the virulence factors of the four categories of diarrheagenic E. coli (enterotoxigenic, enteropathogenic, enteroinvasive, and enterohemorrhagic) ...

Histopathological evidence suggests that the adherence of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) to the mucosa of the small bowel is an important step in pathogenesis. Several reports have shown that many EPEC isolates adhere to HEp-2 and HeLa cells in tissue cultures. In the H...

Adherence of granulocytes to tissue culture monolayers of endothelium averaged 26.2 +/- 1.3% SEM, which was similar to their adherence on 50-mg nylon fiber columns (27.7 +/- 3.6%). In contrast, adherence to epithelial cells, fibroblasts, kidney cells, and plastic Petri dishes wit...

Adherence of radiolabeled Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sanguis to saliva-treated glass surfaces was studied under conditions which minimized bacteria-glass interactions. Treatment of glass with an alkylsilane solution decreased nonspecific bacterial adherence and enhanc...

The adherence to human uroepithelial cells of 23 Escherichia coli strains belonging to three groups with different levels of virulence was investigated, and the mechanism of adherence was studied. It was found that strains belonging to the most virulent group adhered better to hu...

We have examined the mechanisms involved in the adherence of normal peripheral blood eosinophils to cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HEC) under three conditions: (a) adherence in the absence of treatment of HEC or eosinophils with activating agents (basal adherenc...

Formalin-fixed human small intestinal mucosa possessing villi and lymphoid follicle epithelium of Peyer's patches at the mucosal surface was used to test the adherence ability of clinically isolated strains of Vibrio cholerae O1. V. cholerae O1 grown on CFA agar for approximately...
