The interaction between bacteria and eukaryotic cells is complex; active processes must
exist that allow us to live harmoniously with the bacteria which normally live on and within …

The composition of the subgingival bacterial microbiota is a critical determinant in the health
status of periodontal tissues. Gram-negative anaerobes such as Porphyromonas gingivalis …

The multifunctional human glycoprotein vitronectin (Vn) plays a significant role in cell
migration, tissue repair and regulation of membrane attack complex (MAC) formation. It also …

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 …

The article provides an overview on the concepts of periodontal bacteria associated with
bacterial adhesins. It describes the distinctive adhesins of general gram-negative species …

The gingival epithelium acts as a physical barrier to separate the biofilm from the gingival
tissue, providing the first line of defense against bacterial invasion in periodontal disease …

Odontogenic infection of Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg.), a major periodontal pathogen,
exacerbates pathological progression of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). In this study …

Introduction 3. Initial adherence of P. gingivalis in the oral cavity 3.1. Interactions of P.
gingivalis fimbriae with host components 3.2. Involvement of P. gingivalis fimbriae in biofilm …

Abstract Objectives Modifications of titanium (Ti) implant surfaces have a significant effect on
early biofilm formation and the outcome of implant procedures. The aim of this study was to …

Periodontal diseases, such as gingivitis and periodontitis, are inflammatory diseases
triggered by pathogenic bacteria that lead to damage of the soft tissue and bone supporting …
