Prevalence of Porphyromonas gingivalis fimA genotypes in Japanese children
Journal of Oral Science, 2012 Porphyromonas gingivalis FimA fimbriae have been classified into 6 genotypes (types I-V and Ib) based on the diversity of the fimA genes encoding the fimbrial subunits. We investigated the prevalence of fimA genotype in Japanese children. Dental plaque specimens were obtained from 400 subjects (age; 2 to 15 years), including 134 with healthy gingiva ...

Differential expression and adherence of Porphyromonas gingivalis FimA genotypes [PDF]
Molecular Oral Microbiology, 2011 SummaryPorphyromonas gingivalis is a primary pathogen involved in the initiation and progression of adult chronic periodontitis. Its colonization on oral surfaces is a necessary first step leading to infection. FimA, a subunit protein of major (long) fimbriae, is a well‐known virulence factor.

Periodontal Medicine Rewired: Mechanisms Linking Periodontitis to Systemic Diseases
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.This review reorganizes decades of research in periodontal medicine into a multi‐dimensional framework, illustrating how periodontitis influences systemic health through at least seven interconnected mechanisms. ABSTRACT Periodontitis is now recognized not merely as a localized oral condition but as a systemic disease linked to over 70 communicable and

Limit theorems for multi-type general branching processes with population dependence [PDF]
, 2019 A general multi-type population model is considered, where individuals live and reproduce according to their age and type, but also under the influence of the size and composition of the entire population.

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Porphyromonas gingivalis is a key pathogen in periodontitis, with secreted proteases as major virulence factors. We developed a screening method to generate and identify P. gingivalis mutants with elevated protease activity. Mutations were induced using the mutagens 2,6‐diaminopurine (2,6‐DAP) or ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS), and the ...

Periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis—Global efforts to untangle two complex diseases
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.Abstract Understanding the impact of oral health on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) will inform how best to manage patients with both periodontitis and RA. This review seeks to provide an update on interventional and mechanistic investigations, including a brief summary of European Research programs investigating the link between periodontitis and RA. Recent

Comparative proteomics of uropathogenic Escherichia coli during growth in human urine identify UCA-like (UCL) fimbriae as an adherence factor involved in biofilm formation and binding to uroepithelial cells [PDF]
, 2015 Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are the primary cause of urinary tract infection (UTI) in humans. For the successful colonisation of the human urinary tract, UPEC employ a diverse collection of secreted or surface-exposed virulence factors ...

Trueperella pyogenes–Associated Acute Pneumonia in Korean Native Calves
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.Trueperella pyogenes can cause a wide range of suppurative infections, including urogenital and mammary infections, liver abscesses and pneumonia. This case report demonstrates Trueperella pyogenes as a primary cause of bovine respiratory disease in Korean native calves.

On the emergence of random initial conditions in fluid limits [PDF]
, 2016 The paper presents a phenomenon occurring in population processes that start near zero and have large carrying capacity. By the classical result of Kurtz~(1970), such processes, normalized by the carrying capacity, converge on finite intervals to the ...

Cloning and expression of FimA-c3d recombinant protein
Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2014 AbstractRecombinant protein consisting of an antigen fused to C3d may elicit a more robust immune response than the antigen alone. The objective of the present study was to clone FimA-c3d recombinant DNA into pCold-TF vector and successfully express in prokaryotic expression vector.
