Inhibition of adhesion of Neisseria meningitidis to human epithelial cells by berry juice polyphenolic fractions
Abstract Adhesion of pathogens to host tissues is the requirement for the initiation of the majority of infectious diseases. We recently showed that the binding of Neisseria meningitidis pili to immobilised human epithelial cells is inhibited by molecular size fractions (10?100 kDa) of berry juices....
