Secretion of Functional Salivary Peptide by Streptococcus gordonii Which Inhibits Fimbria-Mediated Adhesion of Porphyromonas gingivalis

Porphyromonas gingivalis, a putative periodontopathogen, can bind to human salivary components with its fimbriae. We have previously shown that fimbriae specifically bind to a peptide domain shared by a major salivary component, i.e., proline-rich (glyco)proteins (PRPs). The synthetic domain peptide...
