Lecture Overview: |
| |
| |
Adherent invasive E. coli (AIEC) has over the last 5 to 10 years increasingly been implicated as having a role in the pathophysiology of IBD. AIEC invades enterocytes and can replicated in macrophages. It induces a Th1 immune response typical of IBD. This lecture examine the incidence, genetic composition, and the ability of these bacteria to tightly adhere to epithelial tissue in the gut. |
