Distinct roles of long/short fimbriae and gingipains in homotypic biofilm development by Porphyromonas gingivalis

BACKGROUND: Porphyromonas gingivalis, a periodontal pathogen, expresses a number of virulence factors, including long (FimA) and short (Mfa) fimbriae as well as gingipains comprised of arginine-specific (Rgp) and lysine-specific (Kgp) cysteine proteinases.
