A correlation has previously been demonstrated between the in vitro adherence ofPseudomonas aeruginosato upper respiratory tract epithelium of seriously ill patients and subsequent colonization of the respiratory tract by this opportunistic pathogen. Although the specific in vivo alterations in the cell surface that permit the adherence ofP. aeruginosahave not been defined, we have demonstrated thatP. aeruginosaadherence in vitro can be correlated with the loss of a protease-sensitive glycoprotein, fibronectin, from the cell surface. The object of these studies was to correlate in vitro adherence ofP. aeruginosato buccal epithelial cells from patients with the levels of cell-surface fibronectin and of salivary proteases from the same patients, as well as to define the structure(s) on the bacterial surface important in the adherence process. A direct radioimmuno-binding assay was developed to measure cell-surface fibronectin, while protease activity in secretions was measured by125I release from125I-labelled insoluble fibrin matrices. Adherence of radiolabeledP. aeruginosawas directly related to decreased amounts of cell-surface fibronectin (P< .001) and increased levels of salivary protease (P< .001). Additionally, we demonstrated that pili may mediate the adherence ofP. aeruginosato buccal cells. This was shown by the ability of purified pili, when preincubated with buccal cells, to decrease the adherence of intact organisms from a mean of 30.6 organisms/cell to 5.7 organisms/cell (P< .01).
