T1  - S-fimbriae mediated adhesin of Escherichia coli to human buccal epithelial cells is age independent
N2  - S-fimbriated Escherichia coli, which cause sepsis and meningitis in the newbom, bind to sialic acid-containing glycoprotein structures on the surface of human buccal epithelial cells. The dependence of · this binding on host age was examined. S-fimbriated · E. coli adhered in comparable numbers to cells in newborns, infants, children and adults (23.0 ± 8.6; 23.1 ± 11.5; 24.7 ± 7.9; 28.9 ± 8.8). Thus, the increased susceptibility of neonates to infections caused by S-fimbriated E. coli cannot be explained by enhanced · adhesion to epithelial cells
N2  - Die S-Fimbrien vermittelte Adhiision von Escherichia coli an menschliche Mundschleimhautzellen ist altersunabhängig. S-Fimbrien tragende Escherichia coli, die Sepsis und Meningitis . im Neugeborenenalter verursachen, binden an sialinsäurehaltige Glycoproteine atif der Oberfläche menschlicher Mundschleimhautzellen. Wir untersuchten die Abhängigkeit · der Bindung vom Alter des Schleimhautzellenspenders. S-Fimbrien tragende. E. coli banden in vergleichbarer Zahl an Zellen von Neugeborenen, Säuglingen, älteren · Kindern und Erwachsenen (23,0 ± 8,6; 23,1 ± 11,5; 24,7 ± 7,9; 28,9 ± 8,8). Die vermehrte Empfänglichkeit von Neugeborenen für Infektionen, die durch S- Fimbrien tragende E. coli verursacht werden, kann nicht mit einer verstärkten Adhäsion an Mundschleimhautzellen erklärt wer.den.

T1  - Inhibition of Adhesion of S-fimbriated Escherichia coli to buccal epithelial cells by human milk fat globule membrane components: a novel aspect of protective function of mucins in the non-immunoglobulin fraction
N2  - We investigated the presence of factors in human milkthat inhibit Invasion of pathogenic bacteria. The efl'ect of human milk fat globule membrane (HMFGM) components on adhesion of cloned S-fimbriated Escherichia coli to human buccal epithelial cells was analyzed. S fimbriae are a common feature of E. coli strains causing sepsis and meningitis in newborns and are bound to epithelia via sialyl-(a-2-3)galactoside structures. Human milk fat globules (HMFG) could be agglutinated by the above-mentioned bacteria. Agglutination could be inhibited by fetuin, human glycophorin, and a 1-acid glycoprotein. In addition, pretreatment of HMFG with Jlibrio cholerae neuraminidase markedly reduced bacterium-induced agglutinations, indicating the involvement of neuraminic acid-containing glycoproteins. In contrast, Iipid droplets of infant formula or artificiallipid emulsions (Intralipid) could not be agglutinated. HMFG were present in stools of breast-fed neonates as shown by indirect immunofluorescence staining with a monoclonal antibody directed against carbohydrate residues present on HMFGM. These HMFG could be agglutinated by bacteria. HMFG inhibited E. coli adhesion to buccal epithelial cells. To further characterize relevant E. coli binding structures, HMFGM components w~re separated by gel chromatography. The mucin fraction showed the most pronounced inhibitory efrect on adhesion of S-fimbriated E. coli to human buccal epithelial cells. Our data soggest that HMFG inhibit bacterial adhesion in the entire intestine and thereby may provide protection against bacterial infection.
