Adherence of Bacteroides spp. to epithelial cells of the bovine gingiva, known to be associated with the progressive lesions of Cl, was significantly increased by the addition of streptomycin, actinomycin or antibiotic culture supernatants of the soil actinomycetes. Applications of these mixtures together with Actinomyces pyogenes to the marginal gingiva of the upper premolar teeth of about 1 month old Holstein Friesian calves did not lead to progressive lesions of CI. Only one calf exhibited a slight diarrhea and a temporary retraction of the gingiva at the site of application.123-125engCara inchadaActinomycinAdherenceBacteroides spp.CattlePeriodontal infectionStreptomycinActinobacteria (class)ActinomycesArcanobacterium pyogenesBacteroides sp.Bos taurusBovinaeFriesiaArtigo10.1590/S0100-736X1997000300006S0100-736X1997000300006WOS:000071651200006Acesso aberto2-s2.0-00313229762-s2.0-0031322976.pdf
