Multilocus Sequence Typing of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans Competently Depicts the Population Structure of the Species

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021
We developed a multilocus sequence typing scheme (MLST) for Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans based on seven housekeeping genes, adk, atpG, frdB, mdh, pgi, recA, and zwf. A total of 188 strains of seven serotypes were separated into 57 sequence types.

Periodontal Medicine Rewired: Mechanisms Linking Periodontitis to Systemic Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This review reorganizes decades of research in periodontal medicine into a multi‐dimensional framework, illustrating how periodontitis influences systemic health through at least seven interconnected mechanisms. ABSTRACT Periodontitis is now recognized not merely as a localized oral condition but as a systemic disease linked to over 70 communicable and

Osteoporosis and Periodontitis: Two‐Way Epidemiological and Mechanistic Evidence

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This review investigates the main mechanistic pathways connecting local periodontitis to systemic osteoporosis. Seven interconnected mechanisms are identified. ABSTRACT Osteoporosis and periodontitis are highly prevalent, chronic inflammatory diseases that constitute a major global health burden.

Oral Health, Periodontitis, and Respiratory Diseases: Biological Pathways

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This narrative review aims to provide a comprehensive update on the potential mechanisms by which poor oral health and periodontitis impact lung health, focusing on pneumonia, COPD, and asthma. ABSTRACT Poor oral hygiene and periodontitis influence lung diseases such as pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), COVID‐19, and asthma.

Antibacterial Effect of Aqueous and Alcoholic Propolis Extracts on Aggregatibacter Actinomycetemcomitans in Patients with Chronic Periodontitis (An In-vitro Study)

Journal of Baghdad College of Dentistry, 2015
Background: Propolis has received great interest because of its wide range antimicrobial activity. Propolis also called (bee glue) due to its collection by (Apismellifera) honeybees from various plants resinous substance.

Periodontitis and Rheumatoid Arthritis—Mechanistic Evidence

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis are linked via the two‐hit model whereby early periodontal inflammation can lead to autoantibody production capable of interacting with inflamed synovial tissues. Subsequent systemic inflammation can exacerbate the periodontal inflammatory response and bacterial dysbiosis leading to further autoantibody production

Oral Phageome as Potential Modulators of Periodontal Dysbiosis. A Systematic Review

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The oral phageome, comprising bacteriophages inhabiting the oral cavity, has been proposed as a potential modulator of periodontal health and disease. This systematic review synthesizes current evidence on interactions between bacteriophages, key periodontal bacteria, and the host in periodontitis.

Periodontitis‐Associated Bacteria and Their Connection to Proinflammatory Biomarkers in Periodontal Pockets: A Clinical Microbiological Study

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background This study examines the relationship between the microbial load of selected periodontitis‐associated bacteria (PAB) and proinflammatory biomarkers in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) from patients with periodontitis. Methods GCF and subgingival biofilm samples were collected from the deepest periodontal pocket of each quadrant of 515
