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, a major periodontal pathogen, may contribute to atherogenesis
and other inflammatory cardiovascular diseases. However, little is known about interactions …

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 gingivalis is one of the principal organisms associated with adult
periodontitis. Bacterial surface proteins such as fimbriae and gingipain hemagglutinin …

While the adhesive properties of Porphyromonas gingivalis are known to allow colonization
of the subgingival tissues, the roles of fimbriae and adhesin molecules in hemagglutination …

Porphyromonas gingivalis has been strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of human
periodontitis. Fimbriae mediate adherence and colonization of the oral cavity by this …

In this study, we examined the effects of selected environmental factors on the adhesion of
Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae, an important structure involved in attachment of the …

The fimA gene encodes the major fimbrial protein of Porphyromonas gingivalis. It has been
shown to stimulate adhesion to salivary proteins and other bacteria. It is also thought to play …

Porphyromonas gingivalis, an important periodontal pathogen, is an effective colonizer of
oral tissues. The organism successfully invades, multiplies in, and survives for extended …
