Interbacterial Adhesion Networks within Early Oral Biofilms of Single Human Hosts

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT Specific interbacterial adhesion, termed coaggregation, is well established for three early colonizers of the plaque biofilm: streptococci, actinomyces, and veillonellae. However, little is known about interactions of other early colonizers and about the extent of interactions within the bacterial community from a single host. To address these gaps, subject-specific culture collections from two...
