摘要: Infectious pathogens from the oral cavity cause diseases such as caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, endodontic infections, and alveolar osteitis, often are also concomitant to systemic diseases, including cardiovascular disorders, stroke, preterm birth, diabetes, pneumonia, among others. The relationship(s) between infections still unclear. Using bacterial cell surface antigen I/II S. mutans a model, this study analyzes peptide commonalities that might underlie autoimmune crossreactions human proteins associated with disorders. outlines vast sharing calls attention on crossreactivity possible mechanism by which infection contribute induce and, more in general, offers new approach investigate elusive molecular links focal diseases.
