Relationship between colonial morphology and adherence of Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Infection and immunity - 1 Mar 1995

Cundell D R, Weiser J N, Shen J, Young A, Tuomanen E I

Abstract excerpt

Phase variants in colonial opacity of pneumococci differ in the ability to colonize the nasopharynx of infant rats. To explain this observation at a cellular level, we compared the ability of opacity variants to adhere to buccal epithelial cells, type II pneumocytes, or vascular endothelial cells and to the glycoconjugates that represent the cognate receptors at each of these sites. The transparent phenotype was...
