Abstract

which colonizes the gut mucosa via formation of attaching and effacing (A/E) lesions, causes transmissible colonic hyperplasia. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether prophylactic treatment with UCC2003 can improve the outcome of infection. Six-week-old albino C57BL/6 mice were pre-treated for 3 days with , challenged with bioluminescent and administered or PBS-C for 8 days post-infection; control mice were either administered and mock-infected with PBS, or mock-treated with PBS-C and mock-infected with PBS. colonization was monitored by bacterial enumeration from faeces and by a combination of both 2D bioluminescence imaging (BLI) and composite 3D diffuse light imaging tomography with µCT imaging (DLIT-µCT). At day 8 post-infection, colons were removed and assessed for crypt hyperplasia, histology by light microscopy, bacterial colonization by immunofluorescence, and A/E lesion formation by electron microscopy. Prophylactic administration of did not prevent colonization or A/E lesion formation. However, this treatment did alter distribution within the large intestine and significantly reduced colonic crypt hyperplasia at the peak of bacterial infection. These results show that could not competitively exclude , but reduced pathogen-induced colonic inflammation.
