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

The article analyzes the effect of porphyromonas gingivalis on connective tissue proteins.
For the study, fibronectin-free human fibrinogen was purified and human fibronectin was …

This study showed that the interaction of oral bacteria with fibronectin differed with the type
of organism examined. Significant binding of fibronectin was found with Porphyromonas …

In this study, we demonstrate that Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbrillin, a major component of
bacterial fimbriae, is one of the fibronectin-binding proteins and that fibronectin is a potent …

Porphyromonas (Bacteroides) gingivalis adheres to gram-positive bacteria, such as
Actinomyces viscosus, when colonizing the tooth surface. However, little is known of the …

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

The interactions of the extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins (laminin, elastin, fibronectin, type I
collagen, thrombospondin and vitronectin) with the fimbriae of Porphyromonas gingivalis …

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

Porphyromonas gingivalis W50 (ATCC 53978) possesses the gene for fimbriae; however,
the surface-expressed fimbriae are sparse and have not been previously isolated and …

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 …
