Current evidence suggests that lipoteichoic acid (LTA) on the surface ofStreptococcus pyogenesiscentrally involved in the adherence of these bacteria to the oral mucosa. The major receptor on the surface of buccal mucosal cells forS. pyogenesis fibronectin. Fibronectin is a complex glycoprotein found in blood, extracellular matrices, and saliva. Many species of streptococci bind to fibronectin, although the characteristics of these interactions are different. Furthermore, whereas LTAis an efficient inhibitor of the binding of fibronectin to group A streptococci, it has little ability to inhibit the binding of fibronectin toStreptococcus pneumoniaeorStaphylococcus aureus. Studies conducted with fibronectin show that different bacteria bind to different sites. The ability of various bacteria to interact with different domains on the fibronectin molecule may play an important role in bacterial adherence and tissue tropism.
