Structural and antigenic characterization of a novel genotype of Mfa1 fimbriae in Porphyromonas gingivalis
ABSTRACTBackground Mfa1 fimbriae of the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis are responsible for biofilm formation and comprise five proteins: Mfa1–5. Two major genotypes, mfa170 and mfa153, encode major fimbrillin. The mfa170 genotype is further divided into the mfa170A and mfa170B subtype...
