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 gingivalis, a gram‐negative anaerobe, is a major causative agent in the
initiation and progression of severe forms of periodontal disease. In order to cause …

Progulske‐Fox A, Tumwasorn S, Lepine G, Whitlock J, Savett D, Ferretti JJ, Banas JA. The
cloning, expression and sequence analysis of a second Porphyromonas gingivalis gene that …

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 …

Porphyromonas gingivalis is considered among the etiological agents of human adult
periodontitis. Although in vitro studies have shown that P. gingivalis has the ability to invade …

Porphyromonas gingivalis, a causative agent of periodontitis, has at least two types of thin,
single-stranded fimbriae, termed FimA and Mfa1 (according to the names of major subunits) …

Our laboratory is interested in the genes and gene products involved in the interactions
between Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) and the host. These interactions may occur in either …

The fimbriae of Porphyromonas gingivalis mediate critical roles in host colonization and
evasion of innate defenses and comprise polymerized fimbrilin (FimA) associated with …

Fimbriae are considered important in the adherence and colonization of Porphyromonas
gingivalis in the oral cavity. It has been demonstrated that purified fimbriae bind to whole …

Fimbrial production by Porphyromonas gingivalis was inactivated by insertion-duplication
mutagenesis, using the cloned gene for the P. gingivalis major fimbrial subunit protein, fimA …
