Intrageneric coaggregation among strains of human oral bacteria: potential role in primary colonization of the tooth surface.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Of the 122 human oral bacterial strains tested from 11 genera, only streptococci and a few actinomyces exhibited coaggregation among the strains within their respective genera. Eight of the ten streptococci showed multiple intrageneric coaggregations, all of which were inhibited by galactosides. The widespread intrageneric coaggregation among the streptococci and the less extensive coaggregation among the actinomyces offers an explanation for their accretion on cleaned tooth surfaces and their dominance as primary colonizers.

Coaggregation-mediated interactions of streptococci and actinomyces detected in initial human dental plaque.
Streptococci and actinomyces that initiate colonization of the tooth surface frequently coaggregate with each other as well as with other oral bacteria. These observations have led to the hypothesis that interbacterial adhesion influences spatiotemporal development of plaque. To assess the role of such interactions in oral biofilm formation in vivo, antibodies directed against bacterial surface...
متن کاملIntergeneric coaggregation of oral Treponema spp. with Fusobacterium spp. and intrageneric coaggregation among Fusobacterium spp.
A total of 22 strains of Treponema spp. including members of all four named human oral species were tested for coaggregation with 7 strains of oral fusobacteria, 2 strains of nonoral fusobacteria, and 45 strains of other oral bacteria, which included actinobacilli, actinomyces, capnocytophagae, eubacteria, porphyromonads, prevotellae, selenomonads, streptococci, and veillonellae. None of the tr...
متن کاملCoaggregation of human oral Cytophaga species and Actinomyces israelii.
A total of 19 strains of oral Cytophaga sp. obtained from subgingival plaque deposits were tested for their ability to coaggregate with strains of Actinomyces israelii, A. viscosus, A. naeslundii, Streptococcus sanguis, S. mutans, S. salivarius, and S. mitis. Coaggregation was observed only with A. israelii. Based on their coaggregation patterns with eight A. israelii strains, the Cytophaga str...
متن کاملCoaggregation of oral Bacteroides species with other bacteria: central role in coaggregation bridges and competitions.
Seventy-three freshly isolated oral strains representing 10 Bacteroides spp. were tested for their ability to coaggregate with other oral gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. None coaggregated with any of the gram-negative strains tested, which included Capnocytophaga gingivalis, C. ochracea, C. sputigena, and Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans. Strains of Bacteroides buccae, B. melanino...
