[Alkaline phosphatase of striated border of the enterocytes in experimental dysentery]

The activity of alkaline phosphatase of the striated border of enterocytes was studied experimentally in Syrian hamsters in the early stage of adsorption of Shigella zonnei on the epithelium of the small intestine and in a long-term dysentery infection. It was established that upon the direct effect of bacteria on the glycocalix of enterocytes the activity of the enzyme in it at the site of attachment decreased; upon a long-term effect of Shigella on the intestinal wall a decrease in the activity of alkaline phosphatase is systemic.
