Prevalence of fimA genotypes of Porphyromonas gingivalis in adolescent orthodontic patients. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The placement of fixed orthodontic appliances may alter the composition of oral microbiota and has the potential risk of periodontal complication. Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae play a critical role in colonization of P.

Possible association of fimA genotype of Porphyromonas gulae with the severity of periodontal disease and the number of permanent teeth in dogs

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
Previous research has demonstrated that Porphyromonas gulae (P. gulae) significantly contributes to the development of periodontal disease in dogs. Porphyromonas gulae is divided into three subtypes according to the 41-kDa filamentous appendage (fimA ...

Investigation of periodontal disease development and Porphyromonas gulae FimA genotype distribution in small dogs

Scientific Reports
In dogs, Porphyromonas gulae is a major periodontal pathogen with 41-kDa proteins polymerizing to form a filamentous structure called fimbriae or pili, termed FimA. FimA is classified into three genotypes: A, B, and C, and there are combinations of types

Efficacy of FimA antibody and clindamycin in silkworm larvae stimulated with Porphyromonas gulae

Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2021
Objective: Porphyromonas gulae, a major periodontal pathogen in animals, possesses fimbriae that have been classified into three genotypes (A, B, C) based on the diversity of fimA genes encoding fimbrillin protein (FimA). P.

Frequency of Porphyromonas gingivalis fimA in smokers and nonsmokers after periodontal therapy

Journal of Applied Oral Science, 2019
Porphyromonas gingivalis is one of the most important Gram-negative anaerobe bacteria involved in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. P. gingivalis has an arsenal of specialized virulence factors that contribute to its pathogenicity.
