Abstract The Gram-negative bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis is a secondary colonizer
of the oral biofilm and is involved in the onset and progression of periodontitis. Its fimbriae, of …

The ability of different Porphyromonas gingivalis strains (15 clinical isolates and ATCC
33277) to attach to and invade KB cells, in relation to other properties such as release of …

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 …

Fimbriae have been reported to play an important role in the adherence of Porphyromonas
gingivalis to oral surfaces and possibly in triggering host responses. A structural subunit of …

Porphyromonas gingivalis, one of the causative agents of adult periodontitis, attaches and
forms biofilms on substrata of Streptococcus gordonii. Coadhesion and biofilm development …

Bacterial fimbriae mediate cell adhesion and are important in colonization. Fimbrial proteins
from strains of Porphyromonas (Bacteroides) gingivalis isolated from different individuals …

Porphyromonas (Bacteroides) gingivalis adheres to gram-positive bacteria, such as
Actinomyces viscosus, when colonizing the tooth surface. However, little is known of the …

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a periodontal pathogen whose fimbriae are classified into six
genotypes based on the diversity of the fimA genes encoding each fimbria subunit. It was …

Cohesive interactions between Porphyromonas gingivalis and plaque-forming bacteria,
such as Streptococcus oralis, are considered to play an important role in the colonization of …

In vitro interactions between the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis and oral
epithelial cells have lately been the subject of study in different laboratories. Authors recently …
