[Surface properties of Lactobacillus strains. II. Adherence to tissue culture surfaces].
In the second part of this study, we evaluated the adherence properties of specific strains of Lactobacillus isolated from both the human vagina and gastrointestinal tracts. Lactobacilli taken from the vagina and GI tract were tested for their adherence to A431 vaginal tissue, and to CaCo-2 cells taken from the gastrointestinal tract. The Lactobacillus strains with the most marked adherence to the respective cell lines were examined under the electron microscope. These images revealed the presence of a substance morphologically resembling slime, which probably possess unknown active properties.
