Abstract

Effect of Clostridium difficile toxin A on CD11/CD18 expression in vitro. M Warny , B Chatelain and M Delmée Unité de Microbiologie, Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc Université Catholique de Louvain, Brussels, Belgium. ABSTRACT Clostridium difficile toxin A is chemotactic for neutrophils and induces their emigration into the colonic mucosae of rodents. We found that toxin A did not upregulate neutrophil beta 2 integrins on isolated human neutrophils. These data support the hypothesis that in C. difficile colitis, these adhesion molecules are upregulated by endogenous mediators.
