Entamoeba gingivalis (abbreviated E. gingivalis) is a type of non-pathogenic amoeba that can be found in the mouth. This microorganism is mostly found near the gingival tissue, which refers to the ...
Abstract. A metagenomics analysis showed a strongly increased frequency of the protozoan Entamoeba gingivalis in inflamed periodontal pockets, where it contributed the second-most abundant rRNA after human rRNA. This observation and the close biological relationship to Entamoeba histolytica, which causes inflammation and tissue destruction in ...
Jan 1, 2021 · Background Entamoeba gingivalis has been associated with periodontal diseases. Baseline data from the background population, which could help delimit the role of the parasite in health and disease ...
Keywords Entamoeba gingivalis · Prevalence · Worldwide; oral health · Systematic review Introduction A wide spectrum of microorganisms dwell in the human oral cavity [1 ]. The cosmopolitan Entamoeba gingivalis (E. gingivalis), initially described from dental plaque samples in 1849 [2], was the rst amoeba found in human beings,
Dec 7, 2021 · The etiology of periodontitis remains unclear, as is the place of gingivitis in its pathophysiology. A few studies linked the colonization by oral parasites (Entamoeba gingivalis and Trichomonas tenax) to periodontal disease and its severity. The aim ...
BackgroundThe etiology of periodontitis remains unclear, as is the place of gingivitis in its pathophysiology. A few studies linked the colonization by oral parasites (Entamoeba gingivalis and Trichomonas tenax) to periodontal disease and its severity. The aim of the current study was to estimate the prevalence of these oral parasites among healthy individuals, and in patients with gingivitis ...
Apr 16, 2020 · "E. gingivalis actively contributes to cell destruction inside the gingival tissue and stimulates the same host immune response mechanisms as E. histolytica during its invasion of the intestinal ...
