The aim of the present study was to identify salivary molecules affecting adhesion ofCandida albicansandCandida kruseito salivary pellicles and epithelial cells. Strains ofC. albicans(GDH18, GDH3339, CA1957, ATCC 28366 and ATCC 10321), but notC. krusei(strains ATCC 14243 and Ck9), bound to saliva‐coated hydroxyapatite and buccal epithelial cells. Parotid saliva fractions containing statherin, glycosylated proline‐rich proteins (PRP) and as yet unidentified components mediated adhesion of strain GDH18; Fucα1‐2Galβ1‐4Glc partly inhibited the adhesion to those fractions not containing statherin. Pure statherin, but not PRP‐1, mediated dose‐dependent adhesion ofC. albicansstrain GDH18 to hydroxyapatite beads.Candidaisolates (GDH18, GDH3339 and CA1957) bound somewhat more avidly to statherin/saliva relative to ATCC strains 28366 and 10321, while the opposite was true for adhesion to buccal epithelial cells. Adhesion ofC. albicansstrain GDH18 to saliva‐coated hydroxyapatite and buccal epithelial cells was completely (93%) and partly (43%) blocked by statherin‐specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies, respectively. Control IgG antibodies did not blockCandidaadhesion. Blockage ofCandidaadhesion to epithelial cells also occurred with Fucα1‐2Galβ1‐4Glc (49%) andN‐acetylglucosamine (38%), while statherin specific IgG antibodies in combination with Fucα1‐2Galβ1‐4Glc almost completely eliminatedCandidaadhesion (79%). In addition, statherin in solution blocked the adhesion of strain GDH18 to epithelial cells by inducing aggregation ofCandidacells.
