  • Title: Modification of in vitro adherence of Streptococcus mutans by plant lectins.
    Author: Staat RH, Doyle RJ, Langley SD, Suddick RP.
    Journal: Adv Exp Med Biol; 1978; 107():639-47. PubMed ID: 742505.
    Abstract:
    1) Several plant lectins inhibit in vitro adherence of S. mutans to smooth surfaces. 2) Initial attachment of S. mutans appears to be independent of sucrose-derived glucans. 3) Blockage of adherence is possibly due to lectin interaction with basic amino acid residues on the cell surfaces.
