Sequence diversity in the major fimbrial subunit gene (flp-1) of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans.

Oral microbiology and immunology - 1 Dec 2002

Kaplan J B, Kokeguchi S, Murayama Y, Fine D H

Abstract excerpt

Cells of the periodontal pathogen Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans exhibit tight adherence to surfaces such as glass, plastic and hydroxyapatite, a property that probably plays an important role in the ability of this bacterium to colonize teeth and other surfaces. Tight adherence is mediated by long fibrils of bundled pili (fimbriae) that form on the surface of the cell. The flp-1 gene encodes the major...
