Outer membrane protein A (OmpA) is a key outer membrane protein found in Gram‐negative
bacteria that contributes to several crucial processes in bacterial virulence. In …

Background Porphyromonas gingivalis is the foremost oral pathogen of adult periodontitis in
humans. However, the mechanisms of bacterial invasion and the resultant destruction of the …

Background Porphyromonas gingivalis is a key pathogen in periodontitis, an inflammatory
disease leading to destruction of bone and tooth-supporting tissue. P. gingivalis possesses …

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by the interaction of plaque-
associated bacteria with host cells. Gingival epithelial barriers provide the first line of …

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 strongly correlated with chronic periodontitis. Its chronic
persistence in the periodontium depends on its ability to evade host immunity without …

There is increasing evidence for an association between periodontitis/tooth loss and oral,
gastrointestinal, and pancreatic cancers. Periodontal disease, which is characterized by …

The pathogenesis of periodontitis depends on a sustained feedback loop where bacterial
virulence factors and immune responses both contribute to inflammation and tissue …

Periodontitis is defined as an oral bacterial dysbiosis-induced persistent inflammation on
dental supporting tissue resulting in periodontal tissue breakdown and alveolar bone …

Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is a Gram-negative oral anaerobic bacterium that
plays a key role in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. P. gingivalis expresses a variety of …
