Background Biofilms are multicellular communities of microorganisms held together by a self-
produced extracellular matrix. The ability of microbes to form biofilm is a universal …

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis
(UC), are known as chronic gastrointestinal inflammatory disorders. The present systematic …

Short chain fatty acids (SCFA), principally acetate, propionate, and butyrate, are produced
by fermentation of dietary fibers by the gut microbiota. SCFA regulate the growth and …

Patients with Crohn's disease exhibit abnormal colonization of the intestine by adherent
invasive E. coli (AIEC). They adhere to epithelial cells, colonize them and survive inside …

Background & Aims Adherent-invasive E. coli (AIEC) has largely been implicated in the
pathogenesis of Crohn's disease (CD). E. coli strains with similar genetic backgrounds and …

Abstract Background An Escherichia coli (E. coli) pathotype with invasive properties, first
reported by Darfeuille-Michaud and termed adherent-invasive E. coli (AIEC), was shown to …

Antibiotic resistance genes of Escherichia coli (E. coli) from companion animals were still
poorly understood. Here, we investigated the extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) …

Introduction Adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) is strongly associated with the
pathogenesis of Crohn's disease (CD). However, no molecular markers currently exist for …

Objectives: Sequence type 1193 is emerging as a new, virulent and resistant lineage among
fluoroquinolone resistant Escherichia coli (FQr E. coli). In this study, we investigated the …

Abstract Background and Aim Expression of FimH adhesin by invasive Escherichia coli in
the gastrointestinal tract of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) facilitates binding to epithelial …
