The cell‐adherent ability of 6 strains of Porphyromonas gingivalis (381, ATCC 33277, SU63,
KD1, W50 and W83) was compared by using radiolabeled bacterial cells and human …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Rabbit polyclonal antibody (Poly‐1) and mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) TO‐11, TO‐
14 and TO‐M1 specific for Porphyromonas gingivalis 381 fimbriae were prepared. Poly‐1 …

In this study, we examined the effects of selected environmental factors on the adhesion of
Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae, an important structure involved in attachment of the …

Cell surface ultrastructure and other surface properties of Porphyromonas gingivalis strain
W50 and pleiotropic mutants W50/BP1 (black), W50/BR1 (brown), and W50/BE1 (beige) …

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

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 …
