Microbial Ecology Adherent Interactions Which May Affect Microbial Ecology in the Mouth

R.J. Gibbons

Forsyth Dental Center, 140 The Fenway, Boston, Massachusetts 02115

Bacteria attach to teeth and oral mucosal surfaces in a surprisingly selective manner, and attachment appears to be the first step in the colonization process. Attachment is thought to involve lectin-like and/or hydrophobic ligands, called adhesins, often present in bacterial surface appendages which interact with receptors on oral tissues. A variety of factors can influence bacterial attachment, and therefore have the potential to affect host-parasite interactions in the mouth. Factors discussed include salivary components, dietary lectins, and sublethal concentrations of antibiotics.
