Porphyromonas gingivalis Fim-A genotype distribution among Colombians
INTRODUCTION Porphyromonas gingivalis is associated with periodontitis and exhibit a wide array of virulence factors, including fimbriae which is encoded by the FimA gene representing six known genotypes. OBJETIVE To identify FimA genotypes of P. gingivalis in subjects from Cali-Colombia, including the co-infection with Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Treponema denticola, and Tannerell...
متن کاملPorphyromonas gingivalis
Editorial Periodontal diseases have long been associated with an increased, yet moderate, risk for the development of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. The postulated mechanism underlying this association is the low grade systemic inflammatory response to pathogens engaged in chronic periodontal infection, such as Porphyromonas gingivalis, which may facilitate atheroma formation and t...
متن کاملOccurrence of Porphyromonas gingivalis fimA type II and prtC genotype among periodontitis patients
Background Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae are classified into six genotypes (types I-V and Ib). Among them, occurrence of fimA type II genotype is more predominant in periodontitis patients. Similarly collagenase encoded by prtC gene is a potential virulence factor expressed by P. gingivalis strains associated with periodontal disease. The study was opted to detect the presence of P. gingiva...
متن کاملPorphyromonas gingivalis strain diversity.
Porphyromonas gingivalis is implicated in the etiology of chronic periodontitis. Genotyping studies suggest that genetic variability exists among P. gingivalis strains; however, the extent of variability remains unclear and regions of variability remain largely unidentified. To assess P. gingivalis strain diversity, we previously used heteroduplex analysis of the ribosomal operon intergenic spa...
متن کاملPorphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae
Marginal periodontitis is not a homogeneous disease but is rather influenced by an intricate set of host susceptibility differences as well as diversities in virulence among the harbored organisms. It is likely that clonal heterogeneity of subpopulations with both high and low levels of pathogenicity exists among organisms harbored by individuals with negligible, slight, or even severe periodon...
