Gene Expression inPorphyromonas gingivalisafter Contact with Human Epithelial Cells
22 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
Porphyromonas gingivalis, a gram-negative oral anaerobe, is strongly associated with adult periodontitis. The adherence of the organism to host epithelium signals changes in both cell types as bacteria initiate infection and colonization and epithelial cells rally their defenses. We hypothesized that the expression of a defined set of P. gingivalis genes would be consistently up-regulated during infection of...
