Staphylococcus saprophyticus adhered to human ureteral epithelium in vitro. The levels of adherence, which were determined quantitatively with the scanning electron microscope, correlated well with bacterial hemagglutinating activities with sheep erythrocytes (r = 0.9459, P < 0.01). Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the adhering bacteria and the hemagglutinating bacteria possessed similar pili-like structures on their cell surfaces. Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, and Staphylococcus aureus did not adhere to the epithelium. Only S. aureus adhered markedly to the connective tissue of the ureter, and adhesion of this organism was direct via its cell wall. This adherence test system clearly showed up differences in the abilities of these staphylococcal species to adhere to the urinary tract.
