Diversity and assembly mechanisms of Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae: Conservation and structural heterogeneity of type V fimbriae.

Journal of oral biosciences - 1 Jun 2026

Hasegawa Yoshiaki, Persson Karina, Lamont Richard J

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Porphyromonas gingivalis is a periodontal pathogen that primarily mediates its interactions with host tissues and other bacteria through fimbrial structures. The diversity and assembly mechanisms of its fimbriae are fundamental to understanding its pathogenicity, and its roles in periodontal and systemic diseases. This bacterium mainly expresses two types of fimbriae, FimA and Mfa1. Recent structural...
