Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Porphyromonas gingivalis, a gram-negative anaerobic bacterium, is a major periopathogen whose transmission from host to host involves exposure to atmospheric oxygen. P. gingivalis contains genetic factors that function in an oxidative stress response, but their expression has not been analyzed during exposure to atmospheric oxygen. The aim of this study was to obtain a better understanding of...
