Antibacterial effects of ginsenoside Rd towards planktonic P. gingivalis. (A) The sketch of antibacteria experiments. (B) Short-term effects on P. gingivalis and representative photographs of agar plates were displayed. (C) The hydrophobic indexes of P. gingivalis. (D) Expressions of kgp and fimA genes were normalized by the 2−ΔΔCt method relative to the P. gingivalis 16s rRNA gene. The results are shown as mean ± SD (n = 3). * p < 0.05 versus the normal control; # p < 0.05 versus the 100-μM group. (E) SEM images showed the population and morphology of P. gingivalis at magnifications of ×5,000 and ×20,000.
