説明

<jats:p>Interactions between <jats:italic>Porphyromonas gingivalis</jats:italic> and gingival epithelial cells were investigated. Gingival epithelial cells were cultured from surgically removed gingival tissue. Electron microscopy demonstrated adherence of <jats:italic>P. gingivalis</jats:italic> to the cell membranes and microvilli followed by internalization of the bacteria into the epithelial cell cytoplasm. Saliva from healthy and periodontally diseased patients inhibited <jats:italic>P. gingivalis</jats:italic> association with the epithelial cells. Attachment to and penetration of gingival epithelial cells by <jats:italic>P. gingivalis</jats:italic> may be important virulence factors in periodontal disease. Salivary molecules may play a role in modulating these interactions.</jats:p>
