Abstract:
Mycoplasma pneumoniae attaches to a variety of surfaces. Adherence to inert surfaces such as glass requires an intact energy metabolism. Interaction with sheep erythrocytes occurs via a binding protein on the mycoplasma surface. The protein reacts with a receptor containing sialic acid. Adherence to other erythrocytes may involve different mechanisms. Different results have been reported on interaction with tissue cells. The various mechanisms probably cooperate and thereby facilitate the colonization of the human respiratory tract.
