Neuraminidase-activated attachment of Actinomyces naeslundii ATCC 12104 to human buccal epithelial cells

J. M. Saunders and C. H. Miller

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 beta-galactoside-seeking ligand involved in hemagglutination and interbacterial coaggregation also mediates one type of binding to human buccal epithelial cells.
