Over the last few years, periodontal disease has become a serious oral health problem worldwide. P. gingivalis has long been implicated as a major etiological agent in the onset & progression of periodontitis. The fimbriae, an important virulence factor of P. gingivalis, have been classified into six genotypes (I-V, and Ib), based on the genomic diversity of the fimA gene. This book is based on research work that suggests a close association between periodontal disease activity and P. gingivalis type II fimA genotype. On the basis of this association, detection of type II fimA genotype can be ...
Over the last few years, periodontal disease has become a serious oral health problem worldwide. P. gingivalis has long been implicated as a major etiological agent in the onset & progression of periodontitis. The fimbriae, an important virulence factor of P. gingivalis, have been classified into six genotypes (I-V, and Ib), based on the genomic diversity of the fimA gene. This book is based on research work that suggests a close association between periodontal disease activity and P. gingivalis type II fimA genotype. On the basis of this association, detection of type II fimA genotype can be recommended as a marker for periodontal disease diagnosis as well as its disease activity. This book will be of interest to researchers, under- and post-graduate students in microbiology, immunology, as well as molecular medicine and dentistry.
