Our previous reports implicated the Hsp90 homologue (HtpG) ofPorphyromonas gingivalis(Pg) in its virulence in periodontal disease. We investigated the role of the HtpG stress protein in the virulence ofPg. This report describes the (i) expression of a recombinantPgHtpG (rHtpG), (ii) generation and characterization of a polyclonal rabbit anti-PgrHtpG antiserum, and (iii) construction of aPg htpGisogenic mutant and evaluation of the growth, adherence and invasion properties compared to the wild-type parental strain. The disruption of thehtpGgene did not significantly affect growth, and had no effect onPgadherence to and invasion of cultured human cells.
