[Streptococcus pneumoniae adhesion]. 1995

A S Kvetnaia, and N N Kostiukova, and V V Ivanova, and M O Volkova, and N G Loskutova

The adhesive capacity of 425 S.pneumoniae strains (S- and R-forms) isolated from children with various clinical forms of pneumococcal infection was studied with the use of the epithelium of oral cavity as a model. The strains isolated from patients with meningitis and otitis appeared to be less adhesive than the strains isolated from mucous membrane of respiratory tracts. In all clinical forms of infections the adhesive capacity of S.pneumoniae S-forms was significantly lower than that of R-forms. The hyaluronidase activity and the adhesive capacity of S.pneumoniae strains were found to be inversely related.

D004847 Epithelial Cells Cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the body by forming cellular layers (EPITHELIUM) or masses. Epithelial cells lining the SKIN; the MOUTH; the NOSE; and the ANAL CANAL derive from ectoderm; those lining the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM derive from endoderm; others (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM) derive from mesoderm. Epithelial cells can be classified mainly by cell shape and function into squamous, glandular and transitional epithelial cells.
