Abstract Purpose of Review This review summarizes mechanisms by which Porphyromonas
gingivalis interacts with community members and the host so that it can persist in the …

Recent metagenomic and mechanistic studies are consistent with a new model of
periodontal pathogenesis. This model proposes that periodontal disease is initiated by a …

Emerging data on the consequences of the interactions between invasive oral bacteria and
host cells have provided new insights into the pathogenesis of periodontal disease. Indeed …

The oral bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis has special nutrient requirements due to its
asaccharolytic nature subsisting on small peptides cleaved from host proteins. Using …

Porphyromonas gingivalis is deeply involved in the pathogenesis of marginal periodontitis,
and recent findings have consolidated its role as an important and unique pathogen. This …

The microbiota of the human oral mucosa consists of a myriad of bacterial species that
normally exist in commensal harmony with the host. Porphyromonas gingivalis, an …

Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease associated with a dysbiosis of the oral flora
characterized by a chronic sustained inflammation leading to destruction of tooth-supporting …

This review summarizes and discusses virulence mechanisms whereby Porphyromonas
gingivalis can persist in the oral cavity. It is proposed that the virulence of P. gingivalis is …

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory condition that destroys the tooth‐supporting tissues
and eventually leads to tooth loss. As one of the most prevalent oral conditions, periodontitis …

Porphyromonas gingivalis, a gram-negative anaerobe, is a leading etiological agent in
periodontitis. This infectious pathogen can induce a dysbiotic, proinflammatory state within …
