20.500.12556/RUL-133219 Adhesion of Campylobacter jejuni is increased in association with foodborne bacteria The aim of this study was to evaluate Campylobacter jejuni NTCT 11168 adhesion to abiotic and biotic surfaces when grown in co-culture with Escherichia coli ATCC 11229 and/or Listeria monocytogenes 4b. Adhesion of C. jejuni to polystyrene and to Caco-2 cells and Acanthamoeba castellanii was lower for at least 3 log CFU/mL compared to E. coli and L. monocytogenes. Electron micrographs of ultrathin sections revealed interactions of C. jejuni with host cells. In co-culture with E. coli and L. monocytogenes, adhesion of C. jejuni to all tested surfaces was significantly increased for more than 1 log CFU/mL. There was 10% higher aggregation for C. jejuni than for other pathogens, and high co-aggregation of co-cultures of C. jejuni with E. coli and L. monocytogenes. These data show that C. jejuni in co-cultures with E. coli and L. monocytogenes present significantly higher risk than C. jejuni as mono-cultures, which need to be taken into account in risk evaluation. C. jejuni adhesion is a prerequisite for their colonization, biofilm formation, and further contamination of the environment. C. jejuni survival under adverse conditions as a factor in their pathogenicity and depends on their adhesion to different surfaces, not only as individual strains, but also in co-cultures with other bacteria like E. coli and L. monocytogenes. adhesion abiotic/biotic surface Campylobacter jejuni co-culture survival pathogenicity patogeni mikroorganizmi Campylobacter jejuni bakterijska adhezija bakterijski biofilmi celična adhezija polistiren true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2021-11-17 11:49:31 2021-11-17 11:49:31 2022-09-12 04:15:24 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2020 0 0 14 str. iss. 2, art. 201 Vol. 8 2020 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 579.67:579.26:547.9 2076-2607 10.3390/microorganisms8020201 5171320 RAZ_Klancnik_Anja_2020.pdf RAZ_Klancnik_Anja_2020.pdf 1 7FB7F95B86F71B8BBCBED0CCA5169539 e5d9c86e739d20f465f0011004f7364601147a4f0d3c05a0e8836c42ba046524 4259977f-4794-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=151108 https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2607/8/2/201 1 f998896e-4793-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=151107 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
