Abstract excerpt
Introduction: Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) is a keystone periodontal pathogen linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes that releases outer membrane vesicles (OMV) capable of modulating innate immune responses; however, whether PgOMV reprogram neutrophil antimicrobial and metabolic functions, and how the bacterial oxidative environment shapes these effects, remained unknown. Methods: To address this, we evaluated the...
