Abstract
The attachment of 10 different Treponema denticola strains to monolayers of 4 types of epithelial cells derived from rat palatal epithelium, guinea pig ear, human buccal epithelium and human corneal epithelium was screened microscopically. Most T. denticola strains were able to attach to all four types of epithelial cells. The T. denticola strains seemed to attach better to epithelial cells derived from primary cultured material. The T. denticola strains showed different degrees of attachment. Scanning electron microscopy studies revealed that the attachment of T. denticola was not only tip‐associated but occurred also at random points in close contact with microvilli of the epithelial cells. Attached spirochetes were non‐uniformly distributed over the monolayers, indicating the presence of receptive subpopulations of epithelial cells in the monolayers.
