Stopping Harmful Oral Bacteria in Their Path

The best way to keep bacteria from doing any damage is to cease them in their tracks before they can start down their pathological road to destruction. 
It was discovered that an adhesin protein molecule, called FadA, in the genes of F. nucleatum. This adhesin, or binding agent, on the bacteria lets them connect with receptors on epithelial cells in the mouth & later the endothelial cells of the placenta. In some way, the receptors on the host cell activate a signal that puts in to action a cascade of processes that permit the bacteria to penetrate the epithelial & endothelial linings & then colonize.
