      Recent studies describe in detail the shifts in composition of human-associated polymicrobial communities from health to disease. However, the specific processes that drive the colonization and overgrowth of pathogens ...
    • Díaz, Leonor; Hoare, Anilei; Soto, Cristopher; Bugueño, Isaac; Silva Steffens, Nora; Dutzan Muñoz, Nicolás; Venegas, Darna; Salinas, Daniela; Pérez Donoso, José; Gamonal Aravena, Jorge Antonio; Bravo Rodríguez, Denisse (Elsevier, 2015)
      Virulence factors on the surface of Porphyromonas gingivalis constitute the first line of interaction with host cells and contribute to immune modulation and periodontitis progression. In order to characterize surface ...
