Shear-enhanced adhesion, although not observed for fimbria-mediated adhesion of oral Actinomyces spp., was noted for Hsa-mediated adhesion of Streptococcus gordonii to sialic acid-containing receptors, an interaction implicated in the pathogenesis of infective endocarditis.

The oral uptake of probiotic microorganisms as food additives is one widely used strategy to sustain and improve the homeostasis of intestinal microbiota that protect the intestinal epithelia from attack by pathogenic bacteria. Once delivered to the ileum and colon, probiotics must adhere and form colonies on mucus that coats the surface of intestinal epithelial cells. Although an increasing amount of knowledge about the genetic and molecular level mechanisms of probiotics-mucus interactions has been accumulated, little is known about the physicochemical aspects of probiotics-mucus interactions under physiological shear in intestines.
