Epithelial Inflammatory iNOS-Nitrate Axis Enhances P. gingivalis Pathogenicity via V. parvula in Diabetes-Associated Periodontitis.

Researchers found that in diabetes-associated periodontitis, elevated nitrate produced by inflamed gingival epithelial cells enhances the growth and virulence of *P. gingivalis* bacteria through interaction with *V. parvula*, intensifying bone loss.
