Abstract
⺠Lysine is required to maintain an epithelial barrier to bacteria in gingival sulci. ⺠Lysine decarboxylase from Eikenella corrodens depletes lysine from gingival sulci. ⺠Antibodies to lysine decarboxylase slow lysine depletion and gingivitis progression. ⺠Lysine decarboxylase vaccination may retard canine periodontal disease progression.
