The relation of keratinization to bacterial colonization on the baboon tongue as demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy

T. B. Aufdemorte and I. L. Cameron

Scanning electron microscopic observations of the baboon tongue demonstrating specificity of microbial distribution as related to epithelial keratinization are presented. The number of bacteria inhabiting a surface was related to the degree of keratinization. Orthokeratotic dorsal tongue surfaces were most heavily colonized by bacteria. The parakeratotic and non-keratinized surfaces were less heavily populated, with non-keratinized areas showing the fewest numbers of bacteria.
