Fimbriae are important in the adherence of many bacterial species to the surfaces they
eventually colonize. Porphyromonas (Bacteroides) gingivalis fimbriae appear to mediate …

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

Fimbriae are considered important in the adherence and colonization of Porphyromonas
gingivalis in the oral cavity. It has been demonstrated that purified fimbriae bind to whole …

Fimbriae have been reported to play an important role in the adherence of Porphyromonas
gingivalis to oral surfaces and possibly in triggering host responses. A structural subunit of …

Fimbriae (the oligomeric form of fimbrillin) are considered important in the adherence and
colonization of Porphyromonas gingivalis in the oral cavity. In the present study, we have …

Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae are considered to play an important role in the
adherence and colonization of the bacteria in the oral cavity. In this study, we generated and …

Binding of Porphyromonas gingivalis to pellicle-coated teeth is mediated to a large extent by
fimbrillin, a major structural subunit of fimbriae. A simple and efficient method for purifying …

Fimbriae have been reported to play an important role in the adherence of Porphyromonas
gingivalis to oral surfaces and possibly in triggering host responses. P. gingivalis ATCC …

Bacterial fimbriae mediate cell adhesion and are important in colonization. Fimbrial proteins
from strains of Porphyromonas (Bacteroides) gingivalis isolated from different individuals …

Although fimbriae of Porphyromonas gingivalis have been implicated as playing a major
role in adherence to gingival tissue surfaces, no conclusive genetic evidence has yet been …
