Cell Wall-Anchored CshA Polypeptide (259 Kilodaltons) in Streptococcus gordonii Forms Surface Fibrils That Confer Hydrophobic and Adhesive Properties

It has been shown previously that inactivation of the cshA gene, encoding a major cell surface polypeptide (259 kDa) in the oral bacterium Streptococcus gordonii, generates mutants that are markedly reduced in hydrophobicity, deficient in binding to oral Actinomyces species and to human fibronectin,...
