Porphyromonas gingivalis is implicated in the occurrence of adult periodontitis. We have
previously identified major outer membrane proteins from P. gingivalis, which include …

Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae elicit many responses in eukaryotic cells, including
mitogenicity, cytokine production, epithelial cell invasion, and cellular immune response …

Fimbriae of Porphyromonas gingivalis are thought to play an important role in the
colonization and invasion of periodontal tissues. In this study, we analyzed the interactions …

By using fluorescence microscopy, fluorescently labeled Porphyromonas gingivalis W50
was shown to adhere to oral epithelial (KB) cells as discrete cells or small cell aggregates …

Fimbriae are important in the adherence of many bacterial species to the surfaces they
eventually colonize. Porphyromonas (Bacteroides) gingivalis fimbriae appear to mediate …

Porphyromonas gingivalis, an important periodontal pathogen, is an effective colonizer of
oral tissues. The organism successfully invades, multiplies in, and survives for extended …

Porphyromonas gingivalis is one of the principal organisms associated with adult
periodontitis. Bacterial surface proteins such as fimbriae and gingipain hemagglutinin …

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

Co-aggregation among bacterial cells caused by the adherence of one bacterial species to
another is a potential colonization mechanism. Several putative aggregation factors for co …

We investigated the target structures of the epithelial cells responsible for the attachment of
Porphyromonas gingivalis by immunocytofluorimetry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay …
