ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic persists despite the availability of vaccines, and it is, therefore, crucial to develop new therapeutic and preventive approaches. In this study, we investigated the potential role of oral microbiome in SARS-CoV-2 infec

BackgroundThis study unveils the intricate functional association between cyclic di-3’,5’-adenylic acid (c-di-AMP) signaling, cellular bioenergetics, and the regulation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) profile in Porphyromonas gingivalis, a Gram-negat

2Duf, named after the presence of a transmembrane (TM) Duf421 domain and a small Duf1657 domain in its sequence, is likely located in the inner membrane (IM) of spores in some Bacillus species carrying a transposon with an operon termed spoVA2mob. Th

ABSTRACT Like other members of the phylum Bacteroidetes, the oral anaerobe Porphyromonas gingivalis synthesizes a variety of sphingolipids, similar to its human host. Studies have shown that synthesis of these lipids (dihydroceramides [DHCs]) is invo

Oral and gut Bacteroidetes produce unique classes of serine-glycine lipodipeptides and glycine aminolipids that signal through host Toll-like receptor 2. These glycine lipids have also been detected in human arteries, but their effects on atheroscler

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a Gram-negative anaerobic periodontal microorganism strongly associated with tissue-destructive processes in human periodontitis. Following oral infection with P. gingivalis, the periodontal bone loss in mice is reported t

Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) activation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease but the identity of the TLR2 agonists has been an evolving story. The serine/glycine lipids produced by Porphyromonas gingivalis are reported to eng

AimsThis work aimed to characterize spore inner membrane (IM) properties and the mechanism of spore killing by wet heat and H2O2 with spores overexpressing the 2Duf protein, which is naturally encoded from a transposon found only in some Bacillus str
