Campylobacter jejuni translocation across intestinal epithelial cells is facilitated by ganglioside-like lipooligosaccharide structures
Infection and Immunity, 07/17/2012
Louwen R et al. – The authors conclude that C. jejuni translocation across Caco–2 cells is facilitated by ganglioside–like lipooligosaccharide (LOS), which is of clinical relevance since C. jejuni ganglioside–like LOS expressing isolates are linked with severe gastro–enteritis and bloody stools in C. jejuni diseased patients.
