Neuraminidase-activated Attachment of Actinomyces naeslundii ATCC 12104 to Human Buccal Epithelial CellsDepartment of Oral Microbiology, School of Dentistry
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, School of Medicine, Indiana University, Indianapolis, Indiana 46202 The attachment of Actinomyces naeslundii ATCC 12104 to human buccal epithelial cells pre-treated with neuraminidase (sialidase) was evaluated. Both commercial clostridial neuraminidase and neuraminidase preparations from the test strain of A. naeslundii enhanced attachment. The results suggest that the A. naeslundii β-galactoside-seeking ligand involved in hemagglutination and interbacterial coaggregation also mediates one type of binding to human buccal epithelial cells.
