Abstract excerpt
Candida albicans binds to several species of oral streptococci, in particular Streptococcus gordonii, through recognition of a streptococcal cell wall polysaccharide receptor (A. R. Holmes, P. K. Gopal, and H. F. Jenkinson, Infect. Immun. 63:1827-1834, 1995). We now show that isogenic cell surface protein mutants of S. gordonii DL1, unaltered in expression of cell wall polysaccharide, are reduced in ability to...
