Abstract:
Clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from blood adhered to and penetrated intestinal Caco-2 cell monolayers to a greater degree than did isolates from sputum, with a concomitant drastic decrease in transepithelial electrical resistance. PAO-PR1, an avirulent exotoxin A mutant of PAO1, did not cause a decrease in the resistance. The Caco-2 monolayer system may be useful for the evaluation of certain P. aeruginosa virulence factor activities.
