New Actinomyces and Streptococcus coaggregation groups among human oral isolates from the same site.

Abstract

The coaggregation properties of recent human oral streptococcal and actinomyces isolates from the same site were determined and compared with the coaggregation properties of well-characterized stock strains of these two kinds of bacteria. Streptococcus sanguis, Actinomyces viscosus, Actinomyces naeslundii, and phenotypically similar strains of actinomyces were isolated from subgingival samples from periodontally healthy older individuals, from persons participating in an experimental gingivitis study, and from young persons with localized (juvenile) and generalized (severe) periodontitis. All 34 of the actinomyces isolates coaggregated with reagent strains of S. sanguis that represented the four streptococcal coaggregation groups. Most of these actinomyces exhibited coaggregations identical to those of actinomyces stock strains. However, five isolates of an Actinomyces WVa-963 serovar exhibited a coaggregation pattern different from any previously described, which was used to define coaggregation group F. All coaggregations with members of this group were lactose inhibitable. Only 57% (8 of 14) of the recent S. sanguis isolates coaggregated with actinomyces reagent strains. But when the nonreactive streptococcal isolates were t...Continue Reading

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.

Antibodies: Agglutination

Antibody-mediated agglutination is the clumping of cells in the presence of antibody, which binds multiple cells together. This enhances the clearance of pathogens. Find the latest research on antibody-mediated agglutination here.
