Cell-dissociated haemophilus influenzae and bacteria-associated inflammatory mediators in the airways of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- Abstract:
- Patients with COPD have a susceptibility to respiratory tract infections associated with increased pulmonary inflammation. Bacteria can reside within the host as cell-associated (attached to host cells via adhesins, pili or biofilm formation) or cell-dissociated bacteria. It is unclear how bacteria-to-cell interactions affect pulmonary inflammation and whether these levels differ over an exacerbation time course. We sought to investigate the effects of Haemophilius influenzae cell-interaction upon airway inflammation and whether the levels of H. influenzae bacteria and cell-dissociated bacteria differ over an exacerbation time course.
