A lecturer at the College of Dentistry, Professor Dr. Ayed Hamid Hassan, participated in a committee discussing a doctoral thesis at the College of Science at the University of Karbala on the role of colibectin production in the development of inflammatory diseases by researcher Hoda Najeh Hassan, along with a group of distinguished professors.
The thesis submitted by the researcher aimed to study the role of toxins of the E.coli bacteria isolated from patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease in the development of intestinal diseases in laboratory rats.
The thesis concluded that Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis affect women more than men, and that the E. coli bacteria isolated from patients possess genes to produce toxins after being administered to laboratory rats, which caused clear immunological and physiological changes in their large intestine and that the small intestine was not affected. The thesis recommended conducting More studies on E. coli bacteria and other virulence factors they possess and their role in the development of intestinal diseases.
