Fusobacterium nucleatum impairs serum binding to Porphyromonas gingivalis biofilm.
Mouse immune sera obtained by immunization with Fusobacterium nucleatum and then Porphyromonas gingivalis demonstrated an impaired binding capacity to P. gingivalis-biofilm and lower avidity to P. gingivalis when compared with sera obtained from mice immunized with P. gingivalis alone.
