hi
i was going thru this pageTABLE 3. EXAMPLES OF SPECIFIC ATTACHMENTS OF BACTERIA TO HOST CELL OR TISSUE SURFACES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bacterium Bacterial ligand for attachment Host cell or tissue receptor Attachment site
Streptococcus pyogenes Protein F Amino terminus of fibronectin Pharyngeal epithelium
Streptococcus mutans Glycosyl transferase Salivary glycoprotein Pellicle of tooth
Streptococcus salivarius Lipoteichoic acid Unknown Buccal epithelium of tongue
Streptococcus pneumoniae Cell-bound protein N-acetylhexosamine-galactose disaccharide Mucosal epithelium
Staphylococcus aureus Cell-bound protein Amino terminus of fibronectin Mucosal epithelium
Neisseria gonorrhoeae N-methylphenyl- alanine pili Glucosamine-galactose carbohydrate Urethral/cervical epithelium
Enterotoxigenic E. coli Type-1 fimbriae Species-specific carbohydrate(s) (e.g. mannose) Intestinal epithelium
Uropathogenic E. coli Type 1 fimbriae Complex carbohydrate Urethral epithelium
Uropathogenic E. coli P-pili (pap) Globobiose linked to ceramide lipid Upper urinary tract
Bordetella pertussis Fimbriae ("filamentous hemagglutinin") Galactose on sulfated glycolipids Respiratory epithelium
Vibrio cholerae N-methylphenylalanine pili Fucose and mannose carbohydrate Intestinal epithelium
Treponema pallidum Peptide in outer membrane Surface protein (fibronectin) Mucosal epithelium
Mycoplasma Membrane protein Sialic acid
acc. to it, it attaches to buccal epithelium of tongue
answer pretty confusing????????????????
