We have determined the ability of Streptococcus mutans cells to bind to extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules and fibrinogen. S. mutans cells were found to bind fibronectin, laminin, collagen type I, and fibrinogen. An isogenic S. mutans strain with a defect in the expression of the major surface protein of S. mutans, antigen I/II, possessed a reduced ability to bind fibronectin, collagen, and fibrinogen but not laminin, suggesting that antigen I/II contributes during pathological processes to the interaction of S. mutans cells with fibronectin, collagen type I, and fibrinogen.
