Abstract excerpt
As an anaerobe, Porphyromonas gingivalis is significantly affected by the harsh inflammatory environment of the periodontal pocket during initial colonization and active periodontal disease. We reported previously that the repair of oxidative stress-induced DNA damage involving 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG) may occur by an undescribed mechanism in P. gingivalis. DNA affinity fractionation identified PG1037, a...
