Abstract
Recent studies suggest that the tip-oriented adhesion of Treponema denticola is a consequence of polar clustering of its adhesins on contact with the substratum and is compatible with viability. Such adhesion to cells stimulates a host of cytoskeletal and volume regulatory changes. These studies may give insight into mechanisms of colonization and cytopathogenicity of other pathogenic spirochetes.Entities:
