Genome Sequence of Parvimonas micra Strain A293, Isolated from an Abdominal Abscess from a Patient in the United Kingdom

, 2013
Parvimonas micra is an important oral microbe that has the ability to grow and proliferate within oral biofilms and is involved in periodontal disease, leading to gingival bleeding, gingival recession, alveolar bone loss, and tooth mobility.

A case of brain abscess due to parvimonas micra in a healthy child without dental disease [PDF]

, 2020
Parvimonas micra is a non-spore-forming anaerobic gram-positive coccus and a known commensal of the skin, gums, vagina, and gastrointestinal tract. It is rarely associated with severe infections, which typically follow invasive procedures such as dental ...

Severe pneumonia caused by Parvimonas micra: a case report

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2021
Background Parvimonas micra (P. micra) is a gram-positive anaerobic coccus that is detected widely on the skin, in the oral mucosa and in the gastrointestinal tract. In certain circumstances, P.

Parvimonas micra is associated with tumour immune profiles in molecular subtypes of colorectal cancer

, 2022
The importance of the tumour microbiome in different aspects of colorectal cancer (CRC) has been increasingly recognised, but many questions remain. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of specific CRC associated microbes on the tumour immune ...

Parvimonas micra forms a distinct bacterial network with oral pathobionts in colorectal cancer patients. [PDF]

J Transl Med
Background: Mounting evidence suggests a significant role of the gut microbiota in the development and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). In particular, an over-representation of oral pathogens has been linked to CRC.

Catechins and Their Effect on the Gut Microbiome in Health and Cancer

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Catechins are a group of flavonoids found primarily in green tea, fruits, and berries; they play a significant role in the modulation of the gut microbiota, thereby having an impact on gut health and cancer prevention. Owing to their low bioavailability, catechins are transformed by the gut microbiota into various bioactive metabolites such as

Shotgun Metagenomic Analysis Reveals Taxonomic and Functional Transitions in the Salivary Microbiome During Periodontal Disease Progression

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To characterise multi‐kingdom salivary microbiome profiles across clinically defined periodontal states and identify stage‐specific taxonomic and functional alterations using shotgun metagenomic sequencing. Materials and Methods In this cross‐sectional study, 204 adults (mean age 40.3 ± 7.6 years) from the SECRETO study (NCT01934725 ...

Distinct Microbial and Host Proteome Signatures Relate to Proteolytic Activity in Gingival Crevicular Fluid in an Exploratory Study of Patients With Periodontitis

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Risk assessment tools for periodontitis lack sufficient precision to predict disease progression. The aim of this exploratory study was to evaluate proteolytic activity (PA) in gingival crevicular fluid in relation to clinically assessed progression risk, microbial community composition and host proteome. Materials and Methods Samples were

The Oral‐Gut Axis: Bidirectional Interactions Between Microbiome and Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This study aims to summarize the mechanisms underlying ectopic colonization of the gut by oral pathobionts and the microbial and host factors that regulate this process. ABSTRACT Increased colonization of typically oral microorganisms is frequently observed in the gut mucosa or lumen of individuals with gastrointestinal disorders, including patients ...
