Association of long surface appendages with adherence-related functions of the gram-positive species Actinomyces naeslundii

R P Ellen et al. J Bacteriol. 1978 Jun.

Abstract

Electron microscopy of new isolates of gram-positive Actinomyces naeslundii demonstrated long, fragile appendages. Removal of the appendages impaired attachment to epithelial cells and reaggregation, thus implicating them in attachment-related functions.
