ABSTRACT To elucidate the role of dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV (DPPIV) in the virulence of Porphyromonas gingivalis, mice were infected with either a wild-type strain or a DPPIV-deficient mutant using an abscess model. Histopathological analysis of the resulting lesions indicated that DPPIV participates in virulence through the destruction of connective tissue and the less effective mobilization of inflammatory cells.
