Diversity analysis of genes encoding Mfa1 fimbrial components in Porphyromonas gingivalis strains.

Porphyromonas gingivalis, a gram-negative anaerobic bacterium, is associated with the development of periodontal disease. The genetic diversity in virulence factors, such as adhesive fimbriae, among its strains affects the bacterial pathogenicity. P. gingivalis generally expresses two distinct types...
