periodontitis
Cellular Microbiology: Pathogen-Host Cell Molecular InteractionsA Nonfimbrial Adhesin of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans Mediates Biofilm BiogenesisPeriodontitis is an inflammatory disease caused by polymicrobial biofilms. The periodontal pathogen Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans displays two proteinaceous surface structures, the fimbriae and the nonfimbrial extracellular matrix binding protein A (EmaA), as observed by electron microscopy.
