The influence of saliva on lactose-reversible adherence between strains ofActinomyces viscosusandStreptococcus sanguisorStreptococcus mitiswas investigated. Because saliva agglutinated these organisms, it was necessary to develop models for studying streptococcal attachment toActinomycescells which did not depend upon mixed agglutination of both interacting organisms. One model involved the binding of radiolabelled streptococci to spermine-conjugated agarose beads coated withActinomyces. This assay appeared to parallel previously described coaggregation reactions because coaggregation-positive streptococcal strains attached in much higher numbers to theActinomyces-coated beads than did coaggregation-negative strains. Lactose and also saliva which had been depleted of streptococcal agglutinins strongly inhibited attachment of coaggregation-positive organisms. A second model involved use of sonic extracts ofActinomycescells which agglutinated coaggregation-positive streptococcal strains, but not coaggregation-negative strains. This extract-induced streptococcal agglutination was also inhibited by lactose and by saliva samples collected from 6 donors representative of blood types A, B, and O.
