Colonization of the teeth of rats by human and rodent oral strains of the bacterium Actinomyces viscosus

The mouths of rats were infected with human and rodent strains of A. viscosus and streptomycin-rifamycin-resistant (SR) mutants of these strains. The establishment, adherence to the teeth and cell dose required for infection were determined. Human and rodent strains established equally well on the t...

Zusammenfassung:The mouths of rats were infected with human and rodent strains of A. viscosus and streptomycin-rifamycin-resistant (SR) mutants of these strains. The establishment, adherence to the teeth and cell dose required for infection were determined. Human and rodent strains established equally well on the teeth and did not differ in their initial adherence to teeth. The cell dose required for infection was much lower for rodent than for human strains (
