DOI: 10.1128/iai.00005-25
Abstract: ABSTRACT The protozoan Entamoeba gingivalis commonly colonizes anaerobic periodontal pockets, induces a severe innate immune response, invades gingival mucosa, and kills epithelial cells. E. gingivalis infection is associated with the common oral inflammatory disease periodontitis.… read more here.
