title: Adherence of Mycoplasma mycoides subspecies mycoides to cultured endothelial cells.
abstract: The LC- and SC-type strains of Mycoplasma mycoides subspecies mycoides were examined for adherence to guinea pig erythrocytes and bovine and caprine endothelial cells. The LC-type strains but not the SC-type strains adsorbed guinea pig erythrocytes and caprine endothelial cells. Difference in cytoadherence was observed between strains of the LC-type. The interaction between the most adherent LC-type strain and caprine endothelial cells was examined by transmission and scanning electron microscopy.
