Adherence of local and standard strains of Salmonella to human Uro-epithelial cells

Abstract

This study include determination of the ability to adhere to human uroepithelial cells in three types of local isolates of Salmonella (S.typhi , S.typhimurium , S. montevideo) and compared this ability with standard strains (S.typhi 5535 , S.paratyphi B 5542 , S. paratyphi C a-55108). The results showed that all isolates were able to adhere to Human uroepithelial cells, and found that the standard strains adhered more efficiently than local isolates, but the statistical analysis revealed that there was no significant difference in adhesion rates between local and standard isolates. The results also showed that among the local isolates, the bacteria S. montevideo adhered in higher numbers than did other species, whereas the highest adherence among standard strains was by S. typhi 5535.
