"The ability of the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis to use different glycolipid structures as receptors has previously been demonstrated. The bacterium adhered to acid and nonacid glycolipids originating from human organs and to nonacid glycolipids of porcine origin," investigators in Sweden report.

Glycolipid fractions with positive bacterial binding from e.g. human and porcine origin, were purified by...
