— Freshly collected human submandibular/sublingual saliva contained between 1.0 and 26.1 μ/ml of fibronectin as determined by ELISA. 10 9 organisms of 12 oral streptococcal strains tested removed between 2.6 and 89.4% of the fibronectin present in 400 μl saliva. Fibronectin was retained in bacterial pellets after washings in buffer but could be eluted using 1 M NaCI
