Abstract
The ability of Enterococcus faecalis clinical isolates to adhere to immobilized extracellular matrixes (ECMs) coating the walls of microtiter plates was examined by microscopy. The ECMs consisted of fibronectin, laminin, collagen types I, II, IV, and V, fibrinogen, and lactoferrin. With the exception of fibrinogen, each isolate showed a different level of adherence to each of the ECMs. No significant level of adherence to fibrinogen was observed for any isolate. The tissue-specific adhesive strains AS11, AS12, AS14, AS15, HT11, and HT12, which showed highly efficient adherence to human bladder carcinoma T24 cells and human bladder epithelial cells, showed strong adherence to fibronectin, laminin, and collagen type I, II, IV, and V ECMs, and the levels were greater than 10(4) cells/mm2 of well surface coated by ECM. None of the isolates that showed little adherence to human bladder carcinoma T24 cells showed efficient adherence to all the ECMs. The levels of adherence of gelatinase-producing isolates to the collagens were lower than the levels of adherence of gelatinase-negative isolates. When tissue-specific adhesive strains that adhered strongly to each ECM were preincubated with fibronectin, the adherence of the strains to fi...Continue Reading
