The first study to detect co-infection of Entamoeba gingivalis and periodontitis-associated bacteria in dental patients in Taiwan

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2021
Periodontitis, an inflammatory disease of the oral cavity, was caused by microbes from bacteria to protozoa. In this study, we detected protozoa, Entamoeba gingivalis and other three common pathogenic bacteria, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema ...

Single cell genomics of uncultured, health-associated Tannerella BU063 (Oral Taxon 286) and comparison to the closely related pathogen Tannerella forsythia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The uncultivated bacterium Tannerella BU063 (oral taxon 286) is the closest relative to the periodontal pathogen Tannerella forsythia, but is not disease-associated itself.

A General Protein O-Glycosylation Gene Cluster Encodes the Species-Specific Glycan of the Oral Pathogen Tannerella forsythia: O-Glycan Biosynthesis and Immunological Implications

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The cell surface of the oral pathogen Tannerella forsythia is heavily glycosylated with a unique, complex decasaccharide that is O-glycosidically linked to the bacterium’s abundant surface (S-) layer, as well as other proteins.

Periodontal microbiology and microbial etiology of periodontal diseases: Historical concepts and contemporary perspectives

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract This narrative review summarizes the collective knowledge on periodontal microbiology, through a historical timeline that highlights the European contribution in the global field. The etiological concepts on periodontal disease culminate to the ecological plaque hypothesis and its dysbiosis‐centered interpretation.

Periodontal diseases and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Present and future

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract For more than two decades the possible association between periodontal diseases and adverse pregnancy outcomes has been extensively evaluated. Numerous observational, intervention, and mechanistic studies have offered valuable information on this topic.

Peptidoglycan synthesis in Tannerella forsythia: Scavenging is the modus operandi. [PDF]

Mol Oral Microbiol, 2018
SummaryTannerella forsythia is a Gram‐negative oral pathogen strongly associated with periodontitis. This bacterium has an absolute requirement for exogenous N‐acetylmuramic acid (MurNAc), an amino sugar that forms the repeating disaccharide unit with amino sugar N‐acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) of the peptidoglycan backbone.

Europe's contribution to the evaluation of the use of systemic antimicrobials in the treatment of periodontitis

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract This narrative review celebrates Europe's contribution to the current knowledge on systemically administered antimicrobials in periodontal treatment. Periodontitis is the most frequent chronic noncommunicable human disease. It is caused by dysbiotic bacterial biofilms and is commonly treated with subgingival instrumentation.

Molecular Characterization of the glyA Gene From the Clinical Isolates of Tannerella forsythia. [PDF]

Cureus
The glyA gene in Tannerella forsythia is attributed for its virulence by producing the enzyme serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT), which plays a vital role in bacterial cell metabolism.The study is thus aimed to determine the frequency of the glyA gene from the clinical strains of T. forsythia isolated from periodontitis patients.Forty-five patients

Periodontitis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: A critical appraisal

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract In spite of intensive research efforts driving spectacular advances in terms of prevention and treatments, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading health burden, accounting for 32% of all deaths (World Health Organization. “Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs).” WHO, February 1, 2017, https://www.who.int/news‐room/fact‐sheets/detail ...
