Research Abstract |
Aggregatibacter actinomycetemocimitans is a pathogen of aggressive periodontitis. This microorganism has strong adherence activity and the ability plays an important role in its virulence. In this project, we intended to identify adherence factor including amyloid-like fiber other than fimbriae. Amyloid-like fiber was detected by the thioflavin T floorescence assay. The amyloide-like fiber was fractionated with ion-exchange chromatography and gel chromatography. The fiber was stable after heat treatment and solubilization with the acidic buffer. The profile is resembled with the amyloid fiber of Escherichia coli.
