Effects of Asparaginase and Polyphenol Oxidase on Adhesive Characteristics of Microorganisms

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Abstract

We studied the effects of polyphenol oxidase and asparaginase on microorganism adhesion to buccal epithelial cells. These enzymes reduced adhesion of pathogenic microorganisms (uropathogenic and Escherichia coli, Salmonella enteritidis, Entamoeba spp., Influenza virus, Candida albicans, Streptococcus spp.) and had virtually no effect on adhesive characteristics of probiotic variants of Escherichia coli and Lactobacillus fermentum.
