Hemin availability induces coordinated DNA methylation and gene expression changes in <i>Porphyromonas gingivalis</i>
2022-03-14
Abstract excerpt
Periodontal disease is a common chronic inflammatory disease. Porphyromonas gingivalis is an important bacterium in the development of the disease and expresses a variety of virulence determinants. Hemin (iron [III] protopotphyrin IX), an essential nutrient of this organism, whose concentration increases with increasing inflammation, is a global regulator of virulence in P. gingivalis : high hemin levels increas...
