, We investigated the role of bacterial biofilms in stimulating T helper 17 (Th17) cells in infected organisms. The formation of bacterial biofilms isolated from clinical lavage fluid samples was measured. Th17 cells and interleukin 17 (IL-17) levels in the peripheral blood of healthy individuals, people infected by biofilm bacteria, people infected by non-biofilm bacteria, and in the lavage fluid from people infected by bacteria were determined. Differences in those data were tested using the SPSS 17.0 statistical software.
