Distribution and molecular characterization of Porphyromonas gingivalis carrying a new type of fimA gene.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 May 2000

Abstract excerpt

Fimbriae of Porphyromonas gingivalis are filamentous appendages on the cell surface and are thought to be one of the virulence factors. The fimA gene encoding the subunit protein of fimbriae, fimbrillin (FimA), was classified into four typeable variants (types I to IV). We previously examined the distribution of P. gingivalis in terms of fimA genotypes in periodontitis patients using a fimA type-specific PCR...
