Porphyromonas Gingivalis Response to Ultrasonication

Porphyromonas gingivalis TLR2-Dependent Inflammatory Response to

Differences in immune response to Porphyromonas gingivalis.

About 341 (average age of 38.0 ± 2.5 years) patients with periodontal disease were included in this study. All the patients were not treated for periodontal disease for a period of 6 months prior to this study. All the patients were not on any hormonal therapy. Antibodies to Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) were determined in blood serum by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) meth...

Porphyromonas 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...

Response of Porphyromonas gingivalis to heme limitation in continuous culture.

Porphyromonas gingivalis is an anaerobic, asaccharolytic, gram-negative bacterium that has essential requirements for both iron and protoporphyrin IX, which it preferentially obtains as heme. A combination of large-scale quantitative proteomic analysis using stable isotope labeling strategies and mass spectrometry, together with transcriptomic analysis using custom-made DNA microarrays, was use...

Porphyromonas 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...
