Distribution of Porphyromonas gingivalis fimA and mfa1 fimbrial genotypes in subgingival plaques

BACKGROUND: Strains of periodontal disease-associated bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis have different pathogenicity, which can be attributed to clonal genetic diversity. P. gingivalis typically expresses two types of fimbriae, FimA and Mfa1, which comprise six (I, Ib, II, III, IV, and V) and two (...
