OBJECTIVE: Periodontitis, an infectious disease caused by periodontopathic bacteria,
including Porphyromonas gingivalis and spirochetes, is reported to be accelerated by stress …

The supra-and subgingival plaque biofilm communities of plaque are composed of
hundreds of different microbes. These communities are spatially and temporally structured …

P. gingivalis (Pg), a causative agent of chronic generalized periodontitis, has been
implicated in promoting cardiovascular disease. Expression of lipoprotein gene PG0717 of …

The bacteria‐related diseases of dental caries, pulp and periapical infections, and diseases
of the periodontium are biofilm diseases. Dental plaque exhibits the general properties of …

ABSTRACT Autoinducer-2 (AI-2) is required for biofilm formation and virulence of the oral
pathogen Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, and we previously showed that lsrB …

Abstract The Mfa1 protein of Porphyromonas gingivalis is the structural subunit of the short
fimbriae and mediates coadhesion between P. gingivalis and Streptococcus gordonii. We …

Experiments were designed to explore a prominent autoinducer‐2 (AI‐2) producing gene
(luxS) related to colonization and survival of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, a low …

Extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factors play an important role in the bacterial
response to various environmental stresses. Porphyromonas gingivalis, a prominent …

An imbalance of homeostasis between the microbial communities and the host system leads
to dysbiosis in oral micro flora. DMTU (1, 3-di-m-tolyl-urea) is a biocompatible compound …

The periodontal pathogen P orphyromonas gingivalis experiences a number of
environmental conditions in the oral cavity, and must monitor and respond to a variety of …
