[The influence of teichoic acids from probiotic lactobacilli on microbial adhesion to epithelial cells].

The effect of teichoic acids from lactobacillus strains on their adhesion to human buccal epithellium has been studied. It is shown that preliminary treatment of epithellium cells by teichoic acids caused a decrease of adhesion of L. plantarum 11/16, L. plantarum 195D strains by 39 and 30%, respectively. The influence of teichoic acid from lactobacilli on the adhesion of opportunistic microbial strains has been studied. It is established that teichoic acids from both lactobacilli strains brought to the decrease of adhesion of C. albicans to 29-34%. Teichoic acid from the strain L. plantarum 195D stimulated the adhesion of S. aureus 2.25 times, while teichoic acid from L. plantarum 11/16 did not influence the staphylococcal adhesion. There was also no effect of the studied teichoic acid on the adhesion of E. coli.
