Translocation of <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> Strains across a Monolayer of Polarized Human Enterocyte-Like T84 Cells
1 Mar 2004
Abstract excerpt
We used a two-chamber system to study transcytosis of Enterococcus faecalis across monolayers of human colon carcinoma-derived T84 cells, which show structural resemblance to the native intestine. Among 16 E. faecalis isolates from different sources, the well-characterized strain OG1RF and 8 other isolates (2 endocarditis isolates, 1 urine isolate, and all 5 fecal isolates) showed translocation in this assay,...
