Flagella, Type I Fimbriae and Curli of Uropathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> Promote the Release of Proinflammatory Cytokines in a Coculture System
Background. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a public health problem in Mexico, and uropathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> (UPEC) is one of the main etiological agents. Flagella, type I fimbriae, and curli promote the ability of these bacteria to successfully colonize its host. Aim. Th...

There was adherence to HTB-5 cells treated with different UPEC strains and they were quantified as colony-forming units (CFU)/mL. Results. High concentrations of IL-6 and IL-8 were induced by the FimH and FliC proteins; however, these cytokines were detected in low concentrations in presence of CsgA.
