Std fimbriae-fucose interaction increases Salmonella-induced intestinal inflammation and prolongs colonization

E. coli overexpressing Salmonella Std fimbriae bind to fucosylated cells in primary intestinal epithelial monolayers.

2D monolayers grown from murine colon epithelial organoids were infected with E. coli overexpressing Salmonella Std fimbriae and stained using anti-E. coli antibodies (red) and UEA-1 lectin to visualize fucosylated cell surface (green). Suwandi et al.
