Porphyromonas gingivalis galE is involved in lipopolysaccharide O-antigen synthesis and biofilm formation.

Infection and immunity - 1 Nov 2006

Nakao Ryoma, Senpuku Hidenobu, Watanabe Haruo

Abstract excerpt

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a crucial component of complex plaque biofilms that form in the oral cavity, resulting in the progression of periodontal disease. To elucidate the mechanism of periodontal biofilm formation, we analyzed the involvement of several genes related to the synthesis of polysaccharides in P. gingivalis. Gene knockout P. gingivalis mutants were constructed by insertion of an ermF-ermAM...
