Gangliosides and sialic acid effects upon newborn pathogenic bacteria adhesion: An in vitro study

► Evaluation of bacterial adhesion in Caco-2 cells by gangliosides and sialic acid. ► Study focused on preventing infant diarrhoea episodes by avoiding bacterial adhesion. ► Use of gangliosides and sialic acid concentrations found in bioaccesible fraction. ► Gg and Sia decrease bacterial adhesion in competition and displacement assays.
