Functional Differences among FimA Variants of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Their Effects on Adhesion to and Invasion of Human Epithelial Cells

Fimbriae of Porphyromonas gingivalis, a periodontopathogen, play an important role in its adhesion to and invasion of host cells. The fimA genes encoding fimbrillin (FimA), a subunit protein of fimbriae, have been classified into five types, types I to V, based on nucleotide sequences. We previously...
