Modeling the development of proteolytic phenotypes in multi-species oral biofilms
In chronic periodontitis, subgingival biofilms induce an inflammatory response leading to periodontal tissue destruction which may cause tooth loss. The response includes exudation of fluid (GCF) from the gingival pocket, giving rise to a protein-rich micro-environment in the biofilm. We hypothesize...
