Porphyromonas gingivalis has been implicated as a major aetiological agent in certain
forms of periodontal disease. P. gingivalis is a Gram‐negative, asaccharolytic bacterium that …

Selective inhibition of recolonization of Porphyromonas gingivalis was investigated by
topical application of monoclonal antibody (MAb). To select a MAb to P. gingivalis with the …

The article discusses the major antigens of porphyromonas gingivalis, a gram-negative
bacteria which is found in the oral cavity. It is stated that the antigens induce an overall …

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

The guinea-pig model was used to preliminarily examine the effect of in vivo growth
conditions on selected characteristics of Porphyromonas gingivalis W83. Bacterial cells …

Porphyromonas gingivalis cells coaggregated with Prevotella intermedia cells. The
coaggregation was inhibited with l‐arginine, l‐lysine, Nα‐p‐tosyl‐l‐lysine chloromethyl …

In monocytes, the fimbriae of the oral pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis activate cross talk
signaling from Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) to the β2 integrin CD11b/CD18, leading to the …

Although fimbriae of Porphyromonas gingivalis have been implicated as playing a major
role in adherence to gingival tissue surfaces, no conclusive genetic evidence has yet been …

Our previous study demonstrated that Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae induce the
expression of interleukin-1, a potent bone-resorbing cytokine, in macrophages. This …

Fimbrial production by Porphyromonas gingivalis was inactivated by insertion-duplication
mutagenesis, using the cloned gene for the P. gingivalis major fimbrial subunit protein, fimA …
