Effect of Guinea Pig or Monkey Colonic Mucus on Shigella Aggregation and Invasion of Hela Cells by Shigella flexneri 1b and 2a

摘要

The effects of guinea pig and rhesus monkey colonic mucus preparations on Shigella aggregation and invasion of Hela cell monolayers by Shigella flexneri serotype 1b, 2a, and 5 strains were investigated. Guinea pig mucus also inhibited Hela cell invasion by S. flexneri serotypes 1b and 2a. Monkey mucus neither agglutinated any Shigella strain no inhibited Hela cell invasion.
