BACKGROUND: Factors that prevent colonic mucosal invasion by pathogenic Entamoeba histolytica are not understood. A key initial step in pathogenesis of injury induced by amoeba is adherence to target cells mediated by a surface glycoprotein lectin on E histolytica. Mucin degrading bacteria normally present in the colon lumen produce glycosidases th...
