A bacterial‐biofilm‐induced oral osteolytic infection can be successfully treated by immuno‐targeting an extracellular nucleoid‐associated protein

Abstract excerpt

Periodontal disease exemplifies a chronic and recurrent infection with a necessary biofilm component. Mucosal inflammation is a hallmark response of the host seen in chronic diseases, such as colitis, gingivitis, and periodontitis (and the related disorder peri-implantitis).
