Background: The possible link between melatonin and anti-inflammatory activity is currently
a focus of interest. In the present study, COX-2 expression and NF-κB activation in RAW264 …

Fimbria-mediated adherence to the intestinal epithelia is a key step in enteroaggregative
Escherichia coli (EAEC) pathogenesis. To date, four fimbriae have been described for …

Binding of Porphyromonas gingivalis to the host cells is an essential step in the
pathogenesis of periodontal disease. P. gingivalis binds to and invades epithelial cells, and …

The group of proteins known as serine protease autotransporters of Enterobacteriaceae
(SPATE) is a growing family of serine proteases secreted to the external milieu by the type V …

The Gram-negative periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis synthesizes several
classes of novel phosphorylated complex lipids, including the recently characterized …

Background and Objective: Epidemiological evidence implicates a connection between
human periodontitis and systemic diseases. One possible mechanism involves the direct …

The gram-negative anaerobic oral bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis initiates periodontal
disease by binding to saliva-coated oral surfaces. To assess whether edible plants can …

A polysaccharide with high uronic acid content from the roots of Panax ginseng was found to
inhibit the ability of Porphyromonas gingivalis to agglutinate erythrocytes. This …

The gram-negative anaerobic oral bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis initiates periodontal
disease through fimbrial attachment to saliva-coated oral surfaces. To study the effects of …

Abstract Major fimbriae (FimA) of Porphyromonas gingivalis play an important role in the
adherence of the bacterium to oral surfaces, making them a target for the development of a …
