A member of the peptidase M48 superfamily of Porphyromonas gingivalis is associated with virulence in vitro and in vivo
BACKGROUND In vivo-induced antigen technology was previously used to identify 115 genes induced in Porphyromonas gingivalis W83 during human infection. One of these, PG2197, a conserved hypothetical protein which has homology to a Zn-dependent protease, was examined with respect to a role in disease. DESIGN The expression of PG2197 in human periodontitis patients was investigated, but as ther...
متن کاملPorphyromonas gingivalis: a clonal pathogen?
The introduction of multilocus sequence typing (MLST) in infectious disease research has allowed standardized typing of bacterial clones. Through multiple markers around the genome, it is possible to determine the sequence type (ST) of bacterial isolates to establish the population structure of a species. For the periodontal pathogen, Porphyromonas gingivalis, the MLST scheme has been establish...
متن کاملLocal chemokine paralysis, a novel pathogenic mechanism for Porphyromonas gingivalis.
Periodontitis, which is widespread in the adult population, is a persistent bacterial infection associated with Porphyromonas gingivalis. Gingival epithelial cells are among the first cells encountered by both P. gingivalis and commensal oral bacteria. The chemokine interleukin 8 (IL-8), a potent chemoattractant and activator of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, was secreted by gingival epithelial ...
متن کاملNovel fimbrilin PGN_1808 in Porphyromonas gingivalis
Porphyromonas gingivalis, a periodontopathic gram-negative anaerobic bacterium, generally expresses two types of fimbriae, FimA and Mfa1. However, a novel potential fimbrilin, PGN_1808, in P. gingivalis strain ATCC 33277 was recently identified by an in silico structural homology search. In this study, we experimentally examined whether the protein formed a fimbrial structure. Anion-exchange ch...
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...
