The article offers information on Aggregatibacter (Actinobacillus) actinomycetemcomitans
which is considered one of the causes of periodontitis. It says that A …

The etiopathogenesis of severe periodontitis includes herpesvirus‐bacteria coinfection. This
article evaluates the pathogenicity of herpesviruses (cytomegalovirus and Epstein‐Barr …

Studies on the adherence properties of oral bacteria have been a major focus in
microbiology research for several decades. The ability of bacteria to adhere to the variety of …

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 …

Summary The Escherichia coli Ig-binding (Eib) proteins are trimeric autotransporter
adhesins (TAAs) and receptors for IgG Fc. We present the structure of a large fragment of the …

The human oropharyngeal pathogen Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans synthesizes
multiple adhesins, including the nonfimbrial extracellular matrix protein adhesin A (EmaA) …

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) do not have a well-defined and stable 3-dimensional
fold. Some IDPs can function as either transient or permanent binders of other proteins and …

Gram-negative bacteria display either a flat or an irregular outer membrane. The periodontal
pathogen Aggregatibacter (Actinobacillus) actinomycetemcomitans has an irregular outer …

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is hypothesized to colonize through the interaction
with collagen and establish a reservoir for further dissemination. The trimeric adhesin EmaA …

Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease caused by polymicrobial biofilms. The periodontal
pathogen Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans displays two proteinaceous surface …
