The present study was undertaken to evaluate a possible correlation between the level of
trypsin-like activity and the adherence properties of Porphyromonas gingivalis. It was …

Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) expres‐ses the enzyme peptidylarginine
deiminase (PPAD), which has a strong preference for C‐terminal arginines. Due to the …

Fimbrial production by Porphyromonas gingivalis was inactivated by insertion-duplication
mutagenesis, using the cloned gene for the P. gingivalis major fimbrial subunit protein, fimA …

Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) and other pattern‐recognition receptors (PRRs) of the innate
immune system form functional receptor complexes that recognize and respond to pathogen …

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a black‐pigmented, gram‐negative bacterium that has been
implicated as a major pathogen in the development of adult periodontitis. In an approach to …

Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae can mediate adherence to many of the available
substrates in the oral cavity. Expression of P. gingivalis fimbriae is regulated at the …

Porphyromonas gingivalis is considered the most important etiologic agent in chronic
periodontitis. P. gingivalis secretes several proteases that promote disease progression by …

We have discovered two distinctly different fimbriae expressed by the same Porphyromonas
gingivalis strain. The construction of a fimA mutant of P. gingivalis ATCC 33277 has …

Introduction 3. Initial adherence of P. gingivalis in the oral cavity 3.1. Interactions of P.
gingivalis fimbriae with host components 3.2. Involvement of P. gingivalis fimbriae in biofilm …

Porphyromonas gingivalis, an important periodontal pathogen, is an effective colonizer of
oral tissues. The organism successfully invades, multiplies in, and survives for extended …
