Binding of Porphyromonas gingivalis to the host cells is an essential step in the
pathogenesis of periodontal disease. P. gingivalis binds to and invades epithelial cells, and …

The adherence of Porphyromonas gingivalis to host cells is likely a prerequisite step in the
pathogenesis of P. gingivalis-induced periodontal disease. P. gingivalis binds to and …

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a periodontal pathogen capable of invading primary cultures of
normal human gingival epithelial cells (NHGEC). Involvement of P. gingivalis fimbriae in the …

The mechanisms by which Porphyromonas gingivalis, a gram-negative anaerobic
bacterium, is pathogenic for the periodontium remain largely hypothetical. Invasion of host …

Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae elicit many responses in eukaryotic cells, including
mitogenicity, cytokine production, epithelial cell invasion, and cellular immune response …

Porphyromonas gingivalis is one of the principal organisms associated with adult
periodontitis. Bacterial surface proteins such as fimbriae and gingipain hemagglutinin …

Porphyromonas gingivalis forms communities with antecedent oral biofilm constituent
streptococci. P. gingivalis major fimbriae bind to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate …

Porphyromonas gingivalis, a Gram-negative oral anaerobe, interacts with epithelium lining
the gingival sulcus. Continuing our studies on the role of gingipain cysteine proteinases in P …

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

Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae are classified into six types (types I to V and Ib) based on
the fimA genes encoding FimA (a subunit of fimbriae), and they play a critical role in …
