Tobacco upregulates P. gingivalis fimbrial proteins which induce TLR2 hyposensitivity.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
BackgroundTobacco smokers are more susceptible to periodontitis than non-smokers but exhibit reduced signs of clinical inflammation. The underlying mechanisms are unknown.

Probiotics alter biofilm formation and the transcription of Porphyromonas gingivalis virulence-associated genes

open access: yesJournal of Oral Microbiology, 2020
Background and Objective The potential of probiotics on the prevention and control of periodontitis and other chronic inflammatory conditions has been suggested. Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species influence P.

Components of purified Mfa1 fimbriae.

open access: yes, 2015
(A-C) Mfa1 fimbriae purified from JI-1 (lane 1) and FMFA4 (lane 2) were examined by SDS-PAGE and stained with Coomassie brilliant blue R-250 (A), or analyzed by immunoblotting using anti-Mfa3 (B) and anti-Mfa5 (C). (D) The N-terminus of Mfa4. Amino acids

Structural and functional studies of Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbrial proteins

open access: yesJournal of Oral Microbiology, 2017
Porphyromonas gingivalis expresses two forms of fimbriae, FimA and Mfa1. Each fimbria consists of five proteins; FimA-E and Mfa1-5. While the assembly of the type-1 fimbriae from Escherichia coli is well studied; the chaperone-usher pathway, very little ...

Cryptococcus gattii in AIDS Patients, Southern California

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
Cryptococcus isolates from AIDS patients in southern California were characterized by molecular analyses. Pheromone MFα1 and MFa1 gene fragments were polymerase chain reaction–amplified with fluorescently labeled primers and analyzed by capillary ...

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...

Periodontal Medicine Rewired: Mechanisms Linking Periodontitis to Systemic Diseases

open access: yesJournal 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

Novel and emerging antimicrobial strategies in the management of oral infections

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Antibiotics marked a pivotal turning point in human civilization, enhancing social interactions and extending human life expectancy. In addition to their success in treating systemic infectious diseases, they have significantly improved periodontal treatment outcomes as an adjunct therapy.
