Staphylococcus saprophyticus strains S 1 and
S 35
demonstrated lectin like surface receptors specific for N-acetylgalactosamine (S 1) or N-acetylneuraminic acid (
S 35
).
Adhesion
assays with human uroepithelial cells together with blocking experiments with competitive carbohydrates suggested that specific attachment of S. saprophyticus to host cells is apparently mediated by lectins. Staphylococcal lipoteichoic acid (LTA) was also shown to interfere with S. saprophyticus adherence to human uroepithelial cells.
