AI Article Synopsis
- 43 Campylobacter isolates from poultry, cattle, and pigs were tested for biofilm formation and other phenotypic traits like motility and adhesion to human Caco-2 cells.
- The study found that biofilm formation was independent of the strains' motility and didn't correlate with their ability to colonize Caco-2 cells.
- The results indicate that Campylobacter from different animal sources can form biofilms and invade human cells in laboratory conditions.
Article Abstract
A total of 43 Campylobacter isolates from poultry, cattle and pigs were investigated for their ability to form biofilm. The studied strains were also screened for motility, adhesion and invasion of Caco-2 cells as well as extracellular DNase activity. The relation between biofilm formation and selected phenotypes was examined. Biofilm formation by the tested strains was found as irrespective from their motility and not associated with colonization abilities of human Caco-2 cells. Results of our study show that Campylobacter isolates from various animal sources are able to form biofilm and invade human Caco-2 cells in vitro.
