Shear-enhanced oral microbial adhesion.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Shear-enhanced adhesion, although not observed for fimbria-mediated adhesion of oral Actinomyces spp., was noted for Hsa-mediated adhesion of Streptococcus gordonii to sialic acid-containing receptors, an interaction implicated in the pathogenesis of infective endocarditis.

Physico-chemical interactions in initial microbial adhesion and relevance for biofilm formation.
This paper summarizes initial microbial adhesion events in dental plaque formation, including the physico-chemistry of the interaction between micro-organisms and solid substrata, detachment phenomena under the fluctuating shear of the oral cavity, co-adhesion between pairs of microbial strains, and biosurfactant release. A hypothesis is forwarded on how these initial events might influence the...
متن کاملEffect of cetylpyridinium chloride on microbial adhesion to hexadecane and polystyrene.
Microbial adhesion at the oil-water interface is a subject of both basic interest (e.g., as a technique for the measurement of hydrophobicity) and applied interest (e.g., for use in two-phase oil-water mouthwashes for the desorption of oral microorganisms). In general, surfactants inhibit microbial adhesion to oils and other hydrophobic surfaces. In the present study, we demonstrated that the c...
متن کاملCatch bonds in adhesion.
One of the most exciting discoveries in biological adhesion is the recent and counter-intuitive observation that the lifetimes of some biological adhesive bonds, called catch bonds, are enhanced by tensile mechanical force. At least two types of adhesive proteins have been shown to form catch bonds--blood proteins called selectins and a bacterial protein called FimH. Both mediate shear-enhanced...
متن کاملThe effect of saliva on the interaction between microorganisms and polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) or HL-60 cells
Saliva and polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) are both important players in the innate defense of the oral cavity, but little is known of the effect of saliva on PMN function. In this study, we investigated the effect of saliva on the adhesion of Fu-sobacterium nucleatum and Candida albicans to human granulocytic-differentiated HL-60 cells. The adhesion of FITC-labeled F. nucleatum and C. albi...
متن کاملCatch bonds govern adhesion through L-selectin at threshold shear
Flow-enhanced cell adhesion is an unexplained phenomenon that might result from a transport-dependent increase in on-rates or a force-dependent decrease in off-rates of adhesive bonds. L-selectin requires a threshold shear to support leukocyte rolling on P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) and other vascular ligands. Low forces decrease L-selectin-PSGL-1 off-rates (catch bonds), whereas h...
