In general, the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis expresses distinct FimA and
Mfa1 fimbriae. Each of these consists of five FimA–E and five Mfa1–5 proteins encoded by …

Background: The effects of the key pathogens and virulence factors associated with gum
disease such as Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) on the central nervous system is of …

The purpose of the present investigation was to characterize species-specific bacterial
activity of the oral microbiota in periodontitis. We tested the hypotheses that chronic …

Objective The aim was to determine the changes of inflammatory mediator expression in
human macrophages stimulated with outer membrane vesicles purified from …

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a key pathobiont in periodontitis. Its long fimbriae consist of a
single anchor (FimB), a varying number of stalk (FimA), and three accessory (tip‐related) …

Bacterial behavior and virulence during human infection is difficult to study and largely
unknown, as our vast knowledge of infection microbiology is primarily derived from studies …

ABSTRACT Saccharibacteria (TM7), which are obligate episymbionts growing on the
surface of host bacteria, may play an important role in oral disease, such as periodontitis (1 …

Porphyromonas gingivalis strains exhibit different phenotypes in vitro, different virulence
potential in animal models, and different associations with human diseases, with strains …

The maintenance of diminished acid ceramidase (ASAH1) gene expression leading to the
accumulation of antiproliferative intracellular ceramides in oral squamous cell carcinoma …

Periodontitis is a common oral bacterial infection characterized by inflammatory responses.
Its high prevalence lowers the quality of life for individuals and increases the global …
