Trans-Cinnamaldehyde Decreases Attachment and Invasion of Uropathogenic Escherichia Coli in Urinary Tract Epithelial Cells by Modulating Virulence Gene Expression
21 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Uropathogenic Escherichia coli is the primary bacterium causing urinary tract infection in humans. Attachment and invasion of urinary tract epithelial cells by UPEC is the first critical step in establishing a successful urinary tract infection. We investigated the efficacy of subinhibitory concentrations of trans-cinnamaldehyde to inhibit uropathogenic E. coli attachment and invasion of human...
