Role of fimbriae in Porphyromonas gingivalis invasion of gingival epithelial cells.

Infection and immunity - 1 Jan 1997

Weinberg A, Belton C M, Park Y, Lamont R J

Abstract excerpt

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a periodontal pathogen capable of invading primary cultures of normal human gingival epithelial cells (NHGEC). Involvement of P. gingivalis fimbriae in the invasion process was examined. Purified P. gingivalis 33277 fimbriae blocked invasion of this organism into NHGEC in a dose-dependent manner. DPG3, a P. gingivalis fimbria-deficient mutant, was impaired in its invasion capability...
