Differential expression and adherence of Porphyromonas gingivalis FimA genotypes.

Molecular oral microbiology - 1 Dec 2011

Zheng C, Wu J, Xie H

Abstract excerpt

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a primary pathogen involved in the initiation and progression of adult chronic periodontitis. Its colonization on oral surfaces is a necessary first step leading to infection. FimA, a subunit protein of major (long) fimbriae, is a well-known virulence factor. Based on its nucleotide sequence, FimA is classified into several genotypes. We compared here the transcriptional levels of the...
