Activation of the l-fucose utilization cluster in <i>Campylobacter jejuni</i> induces proteomic changes and enhances Caco-2 cell invasion and fibronectin binding.

In vitro Caco-2 cell studies and fibronectin-binding experiments showed a trend towards higher invasion and a significantly higher fibronectin binding efficacy of C. jejuni NCTC11168 cells grown with l -fucose and d -arabinose, while no significant differences were found with C. jejuni 286.

On the other hand, an increasing trend was observed for the invasion capacity of C. jejuni NCTC11168 upon pre-activation of the l -fucose cluster by l -fucose or d -arabinose preculturing, while supplementation of the invasion medium with l -fucose or d -arabinose did not affect invasion efficacy ( Fig. 3 B, Suppl.
