Porphyromonas gingivalis laboratory strains and clinical isolates exhibit different distribution of cell surface and secreted gingipains
Background: The cell-surface cysteine proteinases RgpA, RgpB (Arg-gingipain), and Kgp (Lys-gingipain) are major virulence factors of P. gingivalis, a keystone pathogen in the development of destructive periodontal disease. The gingipains function as proteinases and transpeptidases utilising small pe...
