Zebrafish Study Provides Evidence for Porphyromonas gingivalis Outer Membrane Vesicles Eliciting Alzheimer's Disease-Like Pathologies

ABSTRACT: Periodontitis bacteria release vesicles that can harm the brain. In zebrafish, these vesicles caused brain injury, inflammation, movement problems, and Alzheimer’s-like changes, including amyloid plaques and enzyme activity. This study suggests periodontitis may contribute to Alzheimer’s disease.
