Subchronic Infection Of Porphyromonas Gingivalis And Tannerella Forsythia Stimulates An Immune Response But Not Arthritis In Experimental Murine Model (Vol 2017, 2052938, 2017)

Studies have proposed that Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) and Tannerella forsythia (Tf) promote a nonspecific inflammatory response that could produce systemic disease. Oral inoculation of Pg and Tf on the immune and arthritis response was evaluated in BALB/C mice divided into four groups: (1) sham; (2) food contaminated with Pg/Tf; (3) complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA)
