The ability of Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sanguis, Streptococcus mitis, and Streptococcus salivarius to adhere to keratinized versus nonkeratinized human oral epithelial cells was compared. S. mitis and S. salivarius exhibited significantly greater adherence to keratinized cells than to nonkeratinized cells. S. mutans and S. sanguis adhered equally well to either epithelial cell type. It is concluded that keratinization of epithelial cells may be a significant factor in the adherence of certain oral streptococci to the oral mucosa.
比较了变形链球菌、血链球菌、缓症链球菌和唾液链球菌对人角化与非角化口腔上皮细胞的黏附能力。缓症链球菌和唾液链球菌对角化细胞的黏附显著高于非角化细胞。变形链球菌和血链球菌对两种上皮细胞类型的黏附能力相同。结论是上皮细胞的角化可能是某些口腔链球菌黏附于口腔黏膜的一个重要因素。
