Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae can mediate adherence to many of the available
substrates in the oral cavity. Expression of P. gingivalis fimbriae is regulated at the …

Porphyromonas (Bacteroides) gingivalis W12 binds and degrades human plasma
fibronectin. In the presence of the protease inhibitor N-alpha-p-tosyl-L-lysyl chloromethyl …

While classical studies on host-parasite interactions have considered a “virulence factor” to
be a molecule (s) that exerts a detrimental effect (that is, toxin) on a host cell, recent …

Porphyromonas gingivalis expresses several virulence factors such as fimbriae and
proteases, termed gingipains, which are enzymes that process precursor fimbriae proteins …

Passive immunization with the monoclonal antibody 61BG1. 3 selectively prevents
colonization by Porphyromonas gingivalis in humans (Booth V, Ashley FP, Lehner T. Infect …

Porphyromonas gingivalis, a periodontopathogen, is an oral anaerobic Gram‐negative
bacterium with numerous fimbriae on the cell surface. Fimbriae have been considered to be …

The periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis is known to express 2 distinct types of
fimbriae: FimA and Mfa1 fimbriae. However, we previously reported that fimbria-like …

The cell‐adherent ability of 6 strains of Porphyromonas gingivalis (381, ATCC 33277, SU63,
KD1, W50 and W83) was compared by using radiolabeled bacterial cells and human …

The present study was performed to examine whether Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae
induce specifically a protein kinase-mediated phosphorylated protein that is involved in the …

Porphyromonas gulae, an animal periodontal pathogen, possess fimbriae classified into
three genotypes (AC) based on the diversity of fimA genes encoding FimA. Accumulating …
