Hamilton, ON (April 1, 2021) - People living with the often-debilitating effects of Crohn s disease may finally gain some relief, thanks to ground-breaking research led by McMaster University.
McMaster investigator Brian Coombes said his team identified a strain of adherent-invasive E-coli (AIEC) that is strongly implicated in the condition and is often found in the intestines of people with Crohn s disease. If you examine the gut lining of patients with Crohn s disease, you will find that around 70 to 80 per cent of them test positive for AIEC bacteria, but one of the things we don t understand is why, said Coombes, professor and chair of the Department of Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences, and the Canada Research Chair in Infectious Disease Pathogenesis.
