Porphyromonas gingivalis is associated with chronic and severe periodontitis in adults. P.
gingivalis and the other periodontal pathogens colonize and interact with gingival epithelial …

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 …

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

Porphyromonas gingivalis FDC381 replication and persistence within KB epithelial cells in
vitro were studied by means of an antibiotic protection assay and electron microscopy …

In vitro interactions between the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis and oral
epithelial cells have lately been the subject of study in different laboratories. Authors recently …

In this study 17 strains of Porphyromonas gingivalis, both reference and clinical isolates,
were investigated for their in vitro interaction with human polymorphonuclear leukocytes …

The cell‐adherent ability of 6 strains of Porphyromonas gingivalis (381, ATCC 33277, SU63,
KD1, W50 and W83) was compared by using radiolabeled bacterial cells and human …

Background and Objective: The aim of this study was to determine how the fimbriae of
Porphyromonas gingivalis function in plaque formation. Material and Methods: We used …

The ability of different Porphyromonas gingivalis strains (15 clinical isolates and ATCC
33277) to attach to and invade KB cells, in relation to other properties such as release of …

Accumulating evidence indicates that epithelia are not merely mechanical barriers but also
important elements of the innate immune system. The present study was performed to …
