Obtaining Muramic Acid from Staphylococcus aureus: A Simple Strategy for Axenic Isolation of Tannerella forsythia [PDF]
LifeBackground: The periodontal pathogen Tannerella forsythia is auxotrophic for muramic acid (MurNAc), a key component of bacterial peptidoglycan, and dependent on an external supply of MurNAc to maintain pure laboratory cultures.

Investigating the role of a Tannerella forsythia HtrA protease in host protein degradation and inflammatory response [PDF]
Frontiers in Oral HealthIntroductionDegradation of host proteins by bacterial proteases leads to the subversion of the host response and disruption of oral epithelial integrity, which is considered an essential factor in the progression of periodontitis.

Utilization of different MurNAc sources by the oral pathogen Tannerella forsythia and role of the inner membrane transporter AmpG [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 2020 Background The Gram-negative oral pathogen Tannerella forsythia strictly depends on the external supply of the essential bacterial cell wall sugar N-acetylmuramic acid (MurNAc) for survival because of the lack of the common MurNAc biosynthesis enzymes ...

Biofilm behavior of Tannerella forsythia strains and S-layer glycosylation mutants [PDF]
Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2017 The periodontopathogen Tannerella forsythia has a characteristic cell surface (S-) layer modified with a unique O-glycan. This structure was analyzed for its role in biofilm formation employing an in vitro multispecies biofilm model, into which different

Lung Abscess Caused by Tannerella forsythia Infection: A Case Report. [PDF]
Infect Drug Resist, 2023 Tannerella forsythia is a gram-negative anaerobic bacterium commonly found in the oral cavity. It is among the common pathogenic bacteria associated with gingivitis, chronic periodontitis, and aggressive periodontitis. However, there is currently no literature discussing lung abscesses primarily caused by T.

Degradation of chondroitin sulfate A by a PUL-like operon in Tannerella forsythia. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2022 Advanced periodontitis has been shown to have strong association with the residence of the bacterial consortia known as the red complex comprised by Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, and Treponema denticola. T. forsythia shares a distant genetic linkage to Bacteroidetes thetaiotaomicron and may therefore produce analogous polysaccharide ...

Tannerella forsythia, an orthodontic point of view [PDF]
International Journal of Applied Dental Sciences, 2021 Introduction: Tannerella forsythia, is an anaerobic, Gram-negative microorganism closely related to periodontal disease. Factors such as poor dental hygiene, fixed orthodontic appliances, etc. can cause dysbiosis in the bacterial community. Objective: To analyze the literature about the epidemiology, diagnostic methods, oral manifestations ...

Role of sialidase in glycoprotein utilization by Tannerella forsythia [PDF]
Microbiology, 2011 The major bacterial pathogens associated with periodontitis includeTannerella forsythia. We previously discovered that sialic acid stimulates biofilm growth ofT. forsythia, and that sialidase activity is key to utilization of sialoconjugate sugars and is involved in host–pathogen interactionsin vitro. The aim of this work was to assess the influence of
