Over the last few years, periodontal disease has become a serious oral health problem worldwide. P. gingivalis has long been implicated as a major etiological agent in the onset & progression of periodontitis. The fimbriae, an important virulence factor of P. gingivalis, have been classified into six genotypes (I-V, and Ib), based on the genomic diversity of the fimA gene. This book is based on research work that suggests a close association b...
