Rabbit anti Porphyromonas gingivalis

Porphyromonas gingivalis is an anaerobic, Gram-negative bacterium that can be found in individuals’ oral cavities This bacterium is the principal source of periodontal disease. It has been found that in addition to causing human infections, the antibody against P. gingivalis is an aid in the oral pathogens research and in the diagnostic test development.

Description

Porphyromonas gingivalis has been found that in addition to causing human infections, this bacterium also causes much of the antibiotic resistance problems found today. The way which it operates is unique, since it is a Gram-negative bacteria, it can attach to the subgingival coating of the tooth, and it will substitute the Gram-positive bacteria originally there, leading to an inflammation which will disengage the gums from the teeth. The bacterium P. gingivalis, in addition to others, causes gingivitis as well as periodontis. Gingivitis is “A disorder involving inflammation of the gums; may affect surrounding and supporting structures of the teeth.” Periodontis is “inflammatory reaction of the tissues surrounding a tooth (periodontium), usually resulting from the extension of gingival inflammation into the periodontium.” When a gathering of Gram-negative, anaerobic bacteria is observed on the gums, it develops a biofilm called plaque on the tooth. Here P. gingivalis expresses proteolytic enzymes which regulate the protein function in the body, affecting the link between the tooth and the bone, ultimately causing the separation of the two and the taking apart of the tooth from jaw. In the last few years it has also been intensively investigated the role of P. gingivalis in atherosclerosis development and in promoting or inflicting different cancers.

Rabbit anti Streptococcus oralis
Streptococcus oralis is a commensal bacteria and is found in the human oral cavity. S. oralis is a component of the normal human oral microbiota, and is capable of opportunistic pathogenicity. The antibody against S. oralis is an aid in the oral pathogens reaserch and in the diagnostic test development

Rabbit anti Streptococcus mutans FITC
Streptococcus mutans is a Gram-positive bacterium that lives in the mouth. The bacterium metabolizes different kinds of carbohydrates, creating an acidic environment in the mouth as a result of this process. This acidic environment in the mouth is what causes the tooth decay. S. mutans is considered to be the most cariogenic of all of the oral Streptococci. The antibody against S.Mutans is an aid in the oral pathogens reaserch and in the diagnostic test development.
