Diabetes has been identified as an important risk factor for infection. But relatively little is known about how diabetes alters the inflammatory response to bacteria. The objective of this study was to investigate how diabetes affects host-bacteria interactions by focusing on the inflammatory response in a connective tissue setting. Diabetic (db/db) and control (db/+) mice were inoculated with Porphyromonas gingivalis, a pathogen associated with bite wounds and periodontal disease. The response was measured histologically or by the expression of inflammatory cytokines. By quantitative histologic analysis, there was little difference between the diabetic and control mice on day 1. On day 3, however, the inflammatory infiltrate had subsided in the control group, whereas it had not in the diabetic group (p
