Role of bile mucin in bacterial adherence to biliary stents.
Biliary stent placement is a well-established method of relieving obstructive jaundice. However, a frequent complication is occlusion of the stent caused by bacterial biofilm formation and sludge accumulation. In this study we investigated the possible effect of bile mucin on bacterial adherence to biliary stents at the initial stage of biofilm formation. By means of an in vitro bile-perfusion system, polyethylene stents were perfused with pig gallbladder bile infected with Escherichia coli. The concentrations of mucin in the pig bile were adjusted with purified mucin. The amount of bacteria adhering to the inner surface of the stents was measured and compared for stents perfused with bile containing various concentrations of mucin. Furthermore, we conditioned the stent inner surface with purified pig bile mucin and observed the effect of the conditioning on subsequent bacterial adherence. In addition, a common method for assaying bacterial adhesion with polystyrene microtiter plates was also used in this study. The results demonstrated that more bacteria adhered to the inner surface of stents perfused with bile containing 5 mg/mL mucin than of those perfused with bile containing 0.5 and 0 mg/mL mucin. Increased bacterial adherence was demonstrated on the stent surfaces conditioned with purified mucin compared with that seen on the nonconditioned stent surfaces. The optical densities indicating bacterial adhesion in the microtiter plate wells precoated with mucin were higher than those in non-coated plate wells. The in vitro results indicate that when a biliary stent is implanted in vivo, mucin in bile may condition the stent inner surface, modulate subsequent bacterial adherence to the surface, and participate in stent occlusion.
