[Inhibition of adhesion to buccal epithelial cells of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by dextran].

Adhesion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains to buccal epithelial cells appears to be a necessary precondition for colonization and infection of respiratory tract. There are many strategies to prevent host organisms for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The purpose of these studies was to evaluate the potential for preventing adhesion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to epithelial cells with dextran.
