Coaggregation of Candida albicans with oral Actinomyces species

Oral Microbiology and Immunology
N J GrimaudoW B Clark

Abstract

Eight strains of Actinomyces were examined for their ability to coaggregate in vitro with four strains of Candida albicans. The Actinomyces coaggregated to various degrees with all of the Candida strains. Exposure of the Candida but not the Actinomyces to heat, trypsin, proteinase K, amphotericin B or trichodermin abolished coaggregation. All sugars tested did not inhibit any of the reactions. All coaggregating pairs were disaggregated by the addition of SDS, but nonionic detergents had no effect. The addition of urea or EDTA completely reversed coaggregation. Actinomyces strains were sensitive to periodate oxidation, whereas the Candida strains were unaffected. These data suggest that the coaggregations involve a protein on the Candida surface that may interact with carbohydrates or carbohydrate-containing molecules on the surface of the Actinomyces. These observations expand the known range of intergeneric coaggregations occurring between human oral microbes and indicate that coaggregation of C. albicans and Actinomyces may be an important factor in oral colonization by this yeast.

Candida albicans

Candida albicans is an opportunistic, fungal pathogen of humans that frequently causes superficial infections of oral and vaginal mucosal surfaces of debilitated and susceptible individuals. Discover the latest research on Candida albicans here.

Actinomycosis

Actinomycosis is a rare, chronic, and slowly progressive granulomatous disease caused by filamentous Gram positive anaerobic bacteria from the Actinomycetaceae family (genus Actinomyces). The disease is characterised by the formation of painful abscesses in the mouth, lungs,breast or gastrointestinal tract. Discover the latest research on actinomycosis here.
