Abstract
This study showed that the interaction of oral bacteria with fibronectin differed with the type of organism examined. Significant binding of fibronectin was found with Porphyromonas gingivalis non-fimbriated (F-) strain in comparison with the fimbriated strain (F+). However, the F+ strain adhered to buccal epithelial cells in significantly larger numbers than the F- strain. Fibronectin binding and epithelial cell adherence were not associated with haemagglutinating activity. These assays clearly define at least three distinct types of binding by oral bacteria: to fibronectin, buccal epithelial cells and erythrocytes.
