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

The present study examined the adhesive and invasive potential of Porphyromonas
gingivalis interacting with human pocket epithelium in vitro. Pocket epithelial tissue …

Adhesion of bacteria to epithelial cells might be influenced by the degree of cell
differentiation, as observed in the multi-layering process of epithelial cells. In the present …

Monocyte recruitment to the endothelium is a crucial step in the inflammatory response that
precedes the development of atherosclerosis. We assessed the effect of Porphyromonas …

Background: Recent epidemiological studies have suggested a contribution of periodontitis
in atherosclerotic diseases. Two mechanisms have been proposed to explain such a …

By using fluorescence microscopy, fluorescently labeled Porphyromonas gingivalis W50
was shown to adhere to oral epithelial (KB) cells as discrete cells or small cell aggregates …

Periodontitis is a polymicrobial infection caused by selected gram-negative bacteria
including Porphyromonas gingivalis. Host cell invasion by P. gingivalis has been proposed …

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 …

We hypothesized that bacterial viability and strain characteristics of Porphyromonas
gingivalis could affect the induction of pro‐inflammatory mediator secretion by human …

Background: The present study aimed to explain the interindividual variation in periodontitis
susceptibility by differences in the initial adhesion rate of Porphyromonas gingivalis to the …
