Porphyromonas gingivalis, a main etiologic agent and key pathogen responsible for
initiation and progression of chronic periodontitis requires heme as a source of iron and …

Gingipains, a group of arginine or lysine specific cysteine proteinases (also known as RgpA,
RgpB and Kgp), have been recognized as major virulence factors in Porphyromonas …

The article discusses the major antigens of porphyromonas gingivalis, a gram-negative
bacteria which is found in the oral cavity. It is stated that the antigens induce an overall …

The human subgingival environment is a complex environmental niche where
microorganisms from the three domains of life meet to form diverse biofilm communities that …

Although biofilms have been shown to be reservoirs of pathogens, our knowledge of the
microbial diversity in biofilms within critical areas, such as health care facilities, is limited …

Periodontal disease is a prevalent chronic inflammatory condition characterised by an
aberrant host response to a pathogenic plaque biofilm resulting in local tissue damage and …

Background/aims: Porphyromonas gingivalis is a periodontal pathogen whose fimbriae are
classified into six genotypes (types I–V and Ib) based on the diversity of the fimA genes …

The article focuses on several genotyping assay methods used in determining the microbial
pathogenecity in periodontitis. It examines the genetic aspects of Porphyromonas gingivalis …
