A similar pattern of redistribution of occludin and claudin-5 has been reported in other in vitro infection experiments with C. jejuni (Chen et al., 2006; Rees et al., 2008; Lobo de Sá et al., 2019) and in colon tissues from campylobacteriosis patients (Bücker et al., 2018; Harrer et al., 2019). This evidence concerns the gene OCLN and infection.
