Ex-vivo investigation of probiotic bacterial adhesion to the intestinal mucus
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: , emphasizing strain-specific differences. While total agglomeration capacity ranged from 8 % to 82 %, actual viable adhesion to mucus remained rather low (0.6 %-2.9 %). SEM images revealed that morphological characteristics, chain and/or cluster forming ability, as well as the presence of surface exopolysaccharides, might have an impact on bacterial adhesion. This study contributes knowledge on probiotic adhesion as well as simple and effective ex-vivo approaches to investigate the bacterial adhesion to the intestinal mucus, which is prerequisite for further colonization in the gut of the host.
