Exploring the Connection between <i>Porphyromonas gingivalis</i> and Neurodegenerative Diseases: A Pilot Quantitative Study on the Bacterium Abundance in Oral Cavity and the Amount of Antibodies in Serum

Exploring the Connection between <i>Porphyromonas gingivalis</i> and Neurodegenerative Diseases: A Pilot Quantitative Study on the Bacterium Abundance in Oral Cavity and the Amount of Antibodies in Serum

Recent studies support the hypothesis that microbes can seed some Alzheimer’s disease (AD) cases, leading to inflammation and overproduction of amyloid peptides. <i>Porphyromonas gingivalis</i> (Pg) is a keystone pathogen of chronic periodontitis and has been identified as risk factor fo...
