Scientific ReportsIn 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

Escherichia Coli: Characteristics of Carbapenem Resistance and Virulence Factors
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2017 In this study, fifty Escherichia coli strains were analyzed by multiplex polymerase chain reaction for the genes expressed carbapenemase and virulence factors in order to determine the presence of carbapenemase and nine virulence factors and investigate ...

Diversity analysis of genes encoding Mfa1 fimbrial components in Porphyromonas gingivalis strains.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Porphyromonas gingivalis, a gram-negative anaerobic bacterium, is associated with the development of periodontal disease. The genetic diversity in virulence factors, such as adhesive fimbriae, among its strains affects the bacterial pathogenicity.

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 8, Issue 12, Page 2253-2265, December 2025.Irrigation of periodontal pockets with human periopathogens, in combination with a 14‐day ligature‐induced periodontitis protocol, significantly enhances alveolar bone loss and sustains bacterial colonization for up to 28 days following ligature removal, thereby more closely replicating the chronic nature of human periodontitis compared to the ligature

Tobacco smoke augments Porphyromonas gingivalis-Streptococcus gordonii biofilm formation.
PLoS ONE, 2011 Smoking is responsible for the majority of periodontitis cases in the US and smokers are more susceptible than non-smokers to infection by the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis. P.

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.Sulforaphene (LFS) directly inhibits P. gingivalis growth, biofilm formation, and virulence. It suppresses the inflammatory response in gingival fibroblasts and potently inhibits osteoclast differentiation, even under inflammatory conditions, without impairing osteogenesis.

Phenotypic and Genotypic Profile of Enterobacteriaceae Isolated at a Teaching Hospital in Ghana
MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.This study identified a significant prevalence of antimicrobial resistance determinants within Enterobacteriaceae isolates, with particular emphasis on those producing extended‐spectrum β‐lactamases (ESBL). These isolates harbored diverse antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), plasmid replicons, and virulence factors (VFs), highlighting the imperative for

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.This study examined Salmonella enterica isolated from cattle faeces on a Nigerian farm. All isolates exhibited complete susceptibility to tested antibiotics, and whole‐genome sequencing revealed minimal antimicrobial resistance gene carriage. These findings demonstrate a notably low resistance burden which is an uncommon observation in many low‐and ...
