Porphyromonas gingivalis is a Gram-negative, anaerobic bacterium involved in periodontitis
and peri-implantitis that can invade and survive inside host cells in vitro. P. gingivalis can …

Porphyromonas gingivalis has been implicated as an etiologic agent of adult periodontitis.
We have previously shown that P. gingivalis can degrade the epithelial cell-cell junction …

Adhesive interactions of cells are critical to tissue integrity. We show that infection with
Porphyromonas gingivalis, a major pathogen in the periodontal disease periodontitis …

Porphyromonas gingivalis, a periodontopathic bacterium, is known to invade oral epithelial
cells in periodontal lesions, although the mechanism is unclear. In the present study, goat …

Porphyromonas gingivalis is an oral/systemic pathogen implicated in chronic conditions,
although the mechanism (s) whereby it resists immune defenses and persists in the host is …

Porphyromonas gingivalis, a causative agent of periodontitis, has at least two types of thin,
single-stranded fimbriae, termed FimA and Mfa1 (according to the names of major subunits) …

P orphyromonas gingivalis is a keystone periopathogen that plays an essential role in the
progress of periodontitis. Like other gram‐negative bacteria, the ability of P. gingivalis to …

Co-aggregation among bacterial cells caused by the adherence of one bacterial species to
another is a potential colonization mechanism. Several putative aggregation factors for co …

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 …

The aim of the present study was to analyze the adhesive and invasive potential of a number
of P. gingivalis strains, in an in vitro system utilizing cultures of human oral epithelial cells …
