Abstract excerpt
Spontaneously occurring coaggregation-defective mutants of Veillonella atypica PK1910 were isolated and used to study the interactions of veillonella with Streptococcus sanguis, Strep. gordonii and Strep. SM. Three classes of mutants were isolated. The first class failed to participate in lactose-inhibitable coaggregations with streptococcal cells. The second class of mutants failed to coaggregate by the...
