Bacterial Adhesion to Human Colon Cancer Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bacterial adhesion with human colon cancer cells was performed (18 ,24 ) with some modifications. The human HT-29 cell line (ATCC no. HTB-38; ATCC) was used, and the cell culture work was carried out at the Central Research Laboratory, SDM College of Medical Sciences and Hospital (Dharwad, India). Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) with 10% fetal bovine serum (both from Himedia Laboratories Pvt, Ltd.) were used to grow HT-29 cells in 12-well flat-bottom cell culture plates until they reached 80% confluence. Prior to the experiment, HT-29 cells were washed gently with PBS twice. Subsequently, the selected eight isolates were centrifuged (5,000 x g for 15 min at 4˚C) and suspended in DMEM without antibiotics to provide approximately 109 CFU ml of the bacterial suspension. Additionally, 200 µl of each strain was added to separate wells and incubated for 2 h at 37˚C in 5% CO2 atmosphere. The HT-29 cells were then washed twice in sterile PBS to remove non-adherent bacteria before being lysed in 2 ml of 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS. Cell lysates were tenfold serially diluted and plated with MRS agar and incubated for 24 h at 37˚C. The percentage of adherence was expressed using the formula:

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
