Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Oral bacteria are related to not only oral disease but also systemic disorder. We investigated the effect of Streptococcus mutans and Porphyromonas gingivalis, pathogenic bacteria of dental caries and periodontitis, respectively, on neuronal disease. We found that endotoxin derived from Porphyromonas gingivalis exacerbated myelin decrease. These data suggest that periodontitis are risk factor for Multiple sclerosis, neuronal disease characterized by myelin decrease.
