口腔细菌黏附机制的研究进展

Oral bacterial adhesion mechanism is one of the focus studies in the research on oral microbiology and ecology. In recent years, with the improvement of molecular biology, the study of mechanism of oral bacteria adhesion has exhibited considerable progress at the molecular level. The adhesion protein-receptors, fimbriae, and exopolysaccharides on bacterial surface are responsible for the coaggregation of bacteria and adhesion of bacteria to teeth. The acquired pellicle on the material surface and several characteristics of the material, such as roughness, surface charge, and hydrophobicity, can affect bacterial colonization and adhesion. In this paper, the mechanism of oral bacteria adhesion from both bacteria and material, as well as the methods to control bacterial adhesion, are reviewed.
