Phagocytosis of bacterial strains isolated from acute dentoalveolar abscess

M. A. Lewis, S. G. Milligan, T. W. MacFarlane and F. A. Carmichael
Department of Oral Medicine and Pathology, University of Glasgow Dental Hospital and School.

The phagocytosis by human polymorphonuclear leucocytes of 37 bacterial strains identified as Streptococcus milleri (10 strains), strictly anaerobic gram-positive cocci (10) Prevotella intermedia (6), Pr. oralis (5) and Fusobacterium nucleatum (6) was investigated in vitro. The ingestion of S. milleri and strictly anaerobic gram-positive cocci was significantly greater (p < 0.001) than that of strains of Prevotella spp. and F. nucleatum. The degree of uptake of capsulate and non-capsulate strains did not differ.
