  • Title: [Ex-vivo study of the capacity of bacteria of the genus Capnocytophaga to adhere to human buccal epithelial cells].
    Author: Kolokotronis A, Karam D, Fourniat J, Bourlioux P.
    Journal: Rev Odontostomatol (Paris); 1990; 19(4):339-44. PubMed ID: 2237107.
    Abstract:
    The bacteria of the genre Capnocytophaga are part of the subdominant flora of the oral cavity. For diverse microorganisms it has been proved that the adhesion constitutes the first step of the colonization of a place leading to the eventual pathology. The adhesion capacity to human epithelial cells (keratinised and non) of eight strains of genus Capnocytophaga has been studied. All strains appear to have a very weak capacity of adhesion. This diministe can be originated from the fact that the host cells have been harvested from healthy subjects.
