Immunohistochemical and electron microscopic study of interaction of Yersinia enterocolitica serotype O8 with intestinal mucosa during experimental enteritis.

Klinikum Steglitz, Abteilung für Innere Medizin mit Schwerpunkt Gastroenterologie, Freie Universität Berlin, Federal Republic of Germany.

ABSTRACT

The experimental infection of mice with Yersinia enterocolitica serotype O8 was investigated in a quantitative and histological study. The course of bacterial penetration and spreading was precisely determined by immunohistochemical staining. After oral administration, the bacteria passed the epithelial barrier of the ileum and spread into the lamina propria. By preference they entered Peyer's patches, which were about 1,000 times more heavily colonized than the surrounding epithelium of a comparable surface area. The bacteria proliferated in the follicles, from which they spread into the lamina propria of the villi. At either site most of the bacteria multiplied extracellularly, with only a small percentage observed to be present within the phagocytes. The bacteria did not appear to be able to pass the intact basement membrane; hence, the integrity of the basement membrane is likely to play a role in determining the route of entry and limit of spread of Y. enterocolitica infection.
