In monocytes and macrophages, the interaction of Porphyromonas gingivalis with Toll‐like
receptor 2 (TLR 2) leads to the activation of a MyD88‐dependent antimicrobial pathway and …

Bacterial endophthalmitis is a potentially blinding intraocular infection. The bacterium
Bacillus cereus causes a devastating form of this disease which progresses rapidly …

Rapid β2-integrin activation is indispensable for leukocyte adhesion and recruitment to sites
of infection and is mediated by chemokine-or P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1–induced …

We examined the involvement of the P2× 7 receptor and the canonical and noncanonical
inflammasomes in the control of single-species or dual-species infection by the periodontal …

Recent reports indicate that Porphyromonas gingivalis mediates alveolar bone loss or
osteoclast modulation through engagement of Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), though the factors …

High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) has been suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis
of many autoimmune diseases. In addition to its nuclear functions, extracellular HMGB1 …

Visceral leishmaniasis is characterized by severe immunosuppression of the host cell,
resulting in loss of the proinflammatory response. Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) is involved in …

Objective: To determine and compare the distribution of Porphyromonas gingivalis fimA
genotypes in patients affected by Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and periodontitis (PE). Materials …

Background: Periodontopathic bacteria are detected at a high rate in specimens obtained
from the aortic walls of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and are involved in …

In aggressive periodontitis, the dysbiotic microbial community in the subgingival crevice,
which is abundant in Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, interacts with extra-and …
