Abstract excerpt
Porphyromonas gingivalis is a Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium associated with various forms of periodontal disease. Several characteristics of P. gingivalis are thought to contribute to its pathogenicity; these include haemagglutination and trypsin-like protease activity. Previous studies suggest an association between haemagglutination and trypsin-like protease activity of P. gingivalis. To investigate this,...
