We have developed a fluorescence imaging technique using a DNA‐binding dye to
visualize, over time, the physical interactions between Porphyromonas gingivalis and …

Fimbriae of Porphyromonas gingivalis, a periodontopathogen, play an important role in its
adhesion to and invasion of host cells. The fimA genes encoding fimbrillin (FimA), a subunit …

Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae are an important virulence factor involved in attachment
and invasion. Fimbrillin, encoded by the fimA gene, is the major subunit protein of the …

It has been shown that Porphyromonas gingivalis 381, a suspected periodontopathogen,
possesses fimbriae on its cell surface. The organism is also known to produce proteases …

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

Recent cross-sectional and prospective epidemiological studies have demonstrated an
association between periodontal disease and atherosclerosis and human coronary heart …

Porphyromonas gingivalis, one of the causative agents of adult periodontitis, attaches and
forms biofilms on substrata of Streptococcus gordonii. Coadhesion and biofilm development …

Porphyromonas (Bacteroides) gingivalis W12 binds and degrades human plasma
fibronectin. In the presence of the protease inhibitor N-alpha-p-tosyl-L-lysyl chloromethyl …

Emerging data on the consequences of the interactions between invasive oral bacteria and
host cells have provided new insights into the pathogenesis of periodontal disease. Indeed …
