Description of Treponema azotonutricium sp. nov. and Treponema primitia sp. nov., the First Spirochetes Isolated from Termite Guts [PDF]
Long after their original discovery, termite gut spirochetes were recently isolated in pure culture for the first time. They revealed metabolic capabilities hitherto unknown in the Spirochaetes division of the Bacteria, i.e., H2 plus CO2 acetogenesis (J.

The Outcome of Intracellular Selenomonas sputigena and its Impact on Gingival Keratinocytes
ABSTRACT Selenomonas sputigena is an understudied oral pathobiont associated with periodontitis and dental caries. We recently demonstrated that S. sputigena binds to gingival epithelial cells (GECs), where afterwards the bacterium causes robust in vitro pro‐inflammatory cytokine production and migration of monocytes and neutrophils.

Determination of periodontopathogens in patients with Cri du chat syndrome [PDF]
Objectives: Cri du chat syndrome is a genetic alteration associated with some oral pathologies. However, it has not been described previously any clinical relationship between the periodontal disease and the syndrome.

ABSTRACT Porphyromonas gingivalis is a key pathogen in periodontitis, with secreted proteases as major virulence factors. We developed a screening method to generate and identify P. gingivalis mutants with elevated protease activity. Mutations were induced using the mutagens 2,6‐diaminopurine (2,6‐DAP) or ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS), and the ...

Multilocus sequence typing of pathogenic treponemes isolated from cloven-hoofed animals and comparison to treponemes isolated from humans [PDF]
Treponema species are implicated in many diseases of humans and animals. Digital dermatitis (DD) treponemes are reported to cause severe lesions in cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, and wild elk, causing substantial global animal welfare issues and economic ...

Initial Characterization of the FlgE Hook High Molecular Weight Complex of [PDF]
The spirochete periplasmic flagellum has many unique attributes. One unusual characteristic is the flagellar hook. This structure serves as a universal joint coupling rotation of the membrane-bound motor to the flagellar filament.

Quantitation of Guggenheimella bovis and treponemes in bovine tissues related to digital dermatitis [PDF]
Digital dermatitis is an inflammation of uncertain aetiology in the skin of the foot of cattle. In 2005, a novel microorganism, Guggenheimella bovis, was isolated from the advancing front of digital dermatitis lesions, suggesting a possible role in ...

Isolation of digital dermatitis treponemes from hoof lesions in wild North American elk (Cervus elaphus) in Washington State, USA [PDF]
Since 2008, a large increase in the numbers of cases of lameness have been seen in wild North American elk (Cervus elaphus) from Washington State, USA. The most recent cases manifested as foot lesions similar both clinically and pathologically to those ...
