Abstract excerpt
Bacterial adherence to tissues is a necessary step in infection and results from interactions between surface molecules on the bacteria (adhesins) and plasma membrane receptors on host cells. Using a clinical isolate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, we have examined the receptors required for adherence to Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. In mutant CHO cell lines and mucin-producing lung epithelial cell lines,...
