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 …

The periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis generally expresses two distinct
fimbriae, FimA and Mfa1, which play a role in biofilm formation. The fimA gene that encodes …

Fimbriae of the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis mediate its colonization
through associations with other bacteria and host tissues. P. gingivalis generally expresses …

The fimbriae of Porphyromonas gingivalis, the causative agent of periodontitis, have been
implicated in various aspects of pathogenicity, such as colonization, adhesion and …

Fimbriae of Porphyromonas gingivalis are filamentous appendages on the cell surface and
are thought to be one of the virulence factors. The fimA gene encoding the subunit protein of …

Porphyromonas gingivalis, a gram-negative anaerobic bacterium, is associated with the
development of periodontal disease. The genetic diversity in virulence factors, such as …

Background Mfa1 fimbriae of the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis are
responsible for biofilm formation and comprise five proteins: Mfa1–5. Two major genotypes …

We previously reported the existence of two different kinds of fimbriae expressed by
Porphyromonas gingivalis ATCC 33277. In this study, we isolated and characterized a …

The Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbria is an important virulence factor involved in the
adherence and colonization of the organism in the oral cavity. In this study, we transformed …

Background Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae are mediators of initial host–pathogen
interactions that are important for the initiation and progression of periodontal diseases. P …
