  1. Murine oral microflora collected at timeline days D0, D16, D23, D30, D37, D44, D51, D58, D65, and D73 were evaluated by polymerase chain reaction of arginine–gingipain (201 base pairs). Values represent the number of infected mice/number of total mice in each group (n = 8). Mice that were not infected with P. gingivalis were not evaluated weekly, but only at baseline and sacrifice. CFA, complete Freund’s adjuvant; IFA, incomplete Freund’s adjuvant; Pg, P. gingivalis.
