This in vitro study tested whether a weak electric field reconstructed from duodenal spiking potentials during an MMC cycle affects bacterial adhesion to Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells. The MMC-related electric field increased adhesion of Lactobacillus and Lactococcus strains, while two pathogenic strains…
