A wide variety of bacteria including Gram-posi tiveand Gram-negative ones possess
proteinaceous, hair-like appendages called fimbriae or pill. Fim briae, which are …

The ability of different Porphyromonas gingivalis strains (15 clinical isolates and ATCC
33277) to attach to and invade KB cells, in relation to other properties such as release of …

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 …

Porphyromonas gingivalis, a gram-negative anaerobe, is a major etiological agent in the
initiation and progression of severe forms of periodontal disease. An opportunistic pathogen …

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 …

Interactions between Porphyromonas gingivalis and gingival epithelial cells were
investigated. Gingival epithelial cells were cultured from surgically removed gingival tissue …

Porphyromonas gingivalis, one of the causative agents of adult periodontitis, can invade and
survive within host epithelial cells. The molecular mechanisms by which P. gingivalis …

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 …

Porphyromonas gingivalis, a periodontal pathogen, can invade primary cultures of gingival
epithelial cells. Optimal invasion occurred at a relatively low multiplicity of infection (ie, 100) …

The cloning of genes encoding putative cell surface antigens of Porphyromonas gingivalis
ATCC 33277 has been reported previously (BC McBride, A. Joe, and U. Singh, Arch. Oral …
