Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial Adherence: Adhesin-Receptor Interactions Mediating the Attachment of Bacteria to Mucosal Surfaces
TL;DR: Progress has been made in the development of antiadhesive vaccines directed against the fimbrial adhesins of several human bacterial pathogens, and development of vaccines against bacterial surface components involved in adhesion to mucosal surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adherence of slime-producing strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis to smooth surfaces.
TL;DR: The results suggest that slime-mediated adherence may be a critical factor in the pathogenesis of S. epidermidis infections of medical devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell membrane-binding properties of group A streptococcal lipoteichoic acid.
TL;DR: Ester-linked fatty acids (palmitic acid being the major one) are involved in the spontaneous adsorption of LTA to erythrocytes, suggesting that small amounts of L TA may reside on the streptococcal surface to mediate attachment and colonization of these organisms on mucosal surfaces in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental foreign body infections in mice challenged with slime-producing Staphylococcus epidermidis.
TL;DR: Results indicate that the production of slime by S. epidermidis is a stable characteristic retained after animal passage and may be important in the pathogenesis of these infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adherence of streptococcus pyogenes, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to fibronectin-coated and uncoated epithelial cells
TL;DR: It is suggested that Fn on the surfaces of epithelial cells may modulate the ecology of the human oropharyngeal cavity, especially with respect to the colonization of these surfaces by pathogenic gram-negative or gram-positive bacteria.
