Cleavage of Human Transferrin by Porphyromonas gingivalis Gingipains Promotes Growth and Formation of Hydroxyl Radicals

Porphyromonas gingivalis, a gram-negative anaerobic bacterium associated with active lesions of chronic periodontitis, produces several proteinases which are presumably involved in host colonization, perturbation of the immune system, and tissue destruction. The aims of this study were to investigat...
