It has been shown thatFusobacterium nucleatumPK1594 coaggregates withProphyromonas gingivalisPK1924 through a galactose‐binding adhesin. In the present study, attachment ofF. nucleatumPK1594 to a variety of mammalian cells was characterized.F. nucleatumPK1594 attached to all eukaryotic cells tested, including human buccal epithelial cells, gingival and periodontal ligament fibroblasts, HeLa cells and murine lymphocytes, macrophages, and polymorphonuclear leukocytes. These attachments were (i) inhibited by galactose, lactose andN‐acetylgalactosamine and (ii) inhibited by monoclonal antibody specific for the galactose‐binding adhesin ofF. nucleatumPK1594. In addition, a coaggregation‐defective mutant ofF. nucleatumPK1594 (PK2172), which does not exhibit galactose binding activity, did not attach to the mammalian cells. Coaggregation ofF. nucleatumPK1594 withP. gingivalisPK 1924 andActinobacillus actinomycetemcomitansJP2, but not with other bacteria, showed a similar pattern with sugars, monoclonal antibody, and the adhesin‐deficient mutant. The results suggest that the attachment ofF. nucleatumPK1594 to mammalian cells and its coaggregation with periodontal pathogens are mediated by the same galactose‐binding adhesin.
