The present study was performed to examine whether Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae
induce specifically a protein kinase-mediated phosphorylated protein that is involved in the …

Porphyromonas gingivalis, the major etiologic agent of chronic periodontitis, produces a
broad spectrum of virulence factors, including outer membrane vesicles. In this study, we …

Porphyromonas gingivalis, a periodontal pathogen, was previously suggested to exploit
α5β1 integrin and lipid rafts to invade host cells. However, it is unknown if the functional …

The major and minor fimbriae proteins produced by the human pathogen Porphyromonas
gingivalis are required for invasion of human aortic endothelial cells and for the stimulation …

This study used the human monocytic cell line U937 to examine whether or not
Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae could induce the adhesion of monocytes to endothelial …

To characterize the roles of Porphyromonas gingivalis and its components in disease
processes, we investigated the cytokine profiles induced by live P. gingivalis, its …

Objective The aim was to determine the changes of inflammatory mediator expression in
human macrophages stimulated with outer membrane vesicles purified from …

The role of Porphyromonas gingivalis cysteine proteinases (gingipains) in the evasion of
host cell-mediated immunity has not been fully determined. In this study, modulation by …

Marginal periodontitis is not a homogeneous disease but is rather influenced by an intricate
set of host susceptibility differences as well as diversities in virulence among the harbored …

Aim: Capsular polysaccharides play an important role in the virulence of Gram‐positive and
Gram‐negative bacteria. In Porphyromonas gingivalis, six serotypes have been described …
