Background/aims:Intergeneric bacterial coaggregation may play an important role in plaque development.Methods:In this study we investigated the coaggregation reaction between two periodontal pathogens,Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitansandFusobacterium nucleatum.Results:Previous studies showed thatA. actinomycetemcomitansserotype b strains coaggregate withF. nucleatumstrain PK1594, and thatA. actinomycetemcomitansserotype b O‐polysaccharide (O‐PS) is the receptor responsible for coaggregation betweenA. actinomycetemcomitansandF. nucleatum.A. actinomycetemcomitansserotype f O‐PS has been shown to be structurally and antigenically related to serotype b O‐PS. In the present study we show thatA. actinomycetemcomitansstrain CU1060N, a serotype f strain, also coaggregated withF. nucleatumPK1594. Like coaggregation between serotype b strains andF. nucleatum, coaggregation between CU1060N andF. nucleatumwas inhibited by galactose. An O‐PS mutant of CU1060N failed to coaggregate withF. nucleatum.Conclusion:We concluded thatA. actinomycetemcomitansserotype f O‐PS, like serotype b O‐PS, mediates coaggregation betweenA. actinomycetemcomitansand fusobacteria.
