<i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> Internalization by Human Epithelial Respiratory Cells Depends on Cell Differentiation, Polarity, and Junctional Complex Integrity
1 May 1999
Abstract excerpt
Internalization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by epithelial respiratory cell lines has been suggested to be dependent on the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. Because we have observed intracellular (IC) P. aeruginosa only in cells that do not express apical CFTR, we addressed the question of whether bacterial internalization by epithelial cells depends on the degree of cell...
