Disease relevance of ppk

 

High impact information on ppk

  • These results suggest that PPK may be important for incorporation of these organisms into subgingival plaque in the human oral cavity [1].
  • This property was dependent, in part, on the strain 381 fimA, ppk, and usp genes [2].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of ppk

  • Microarray and Northern blot analyses suggested that the expression of the ppk gene was required for maximal expression of the uspA gene [2].
