Background: Porphyromonas gingivalis., a key pathogen in periodontitis, is able to adhere to
and invade the pocket epithelium. Different capsular antigens of P. gingivalis have been …

The present study examined the adhesive and invasive potential of Porphyromonas
gingivalis interacting with human pocket epithelium in vitro. Pocket epithelial tissue …

Background: The present study aimed to explain the interindividual variation in periodontitis
susceptibility by differences in the initial adhesion rate of Porphyromonas gingivalis to the …

Fimbriae, which are involved in adherence, constitute an important pathogenic factor of
Porphyromonas gingivalis. In vivo, however, the distribution of P. gingivalis-carrying fimbriae …

Porphyromonas gingivalis, implicated in the pathogenesis of periodontitis, can adhere to
epithelial cells and gingival fibroblasts. This study employed flow cytometry to evaluate the …

The invasion of gingival epithelial cells by certain pathogenic periodontal bacteria may
account for their presence within diseased gingival tissue. To dissect the initial steps of a …

Isogenic mutants of Porphyromonas gingivalis which differ in the expression of fimbriae
were used to examine the contribution of fimbriae in invasion of a human oral epithelial cell …

Objectives: Porphyromonas gingivalis, one of the key pathogens in the development of
periodontitis, produces a number of virulence factors that might explain its pathogenicity …

Background: The present study compared 2 different methods (direct versus indirect
evaluation) for the quantification of the adhesion of Porphyromonas gingivalis strains to in …

The adherence of Porphyromonas gingivalis to cell surfaces of periodontal tissues may play
an important role in its pathogenicity. In this study, 12 strains of P. gingivalis, including both …
