Locomotory characteristics of Treponema denticola

Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 1988
Locomotion of pathogenic spirochetes has been suggested as a virulence factor in their pathogenesis. Little is known of the locomotory characteristics of oral anaerobic spirochetes. We have determined the optimal conditions for motility of seven strains of Treponema denticola in menstrua of different viscosities. The viscosity for optimum motility for

Oxygen metabolism by Treponema denticola

Oral Microbiology and Immunology, 1999
Treponema denticola strains ATCC 35405 and ASLM were found to have moderately active oxygen metabolism and consumed some 0.46 μmol O2/h/mg cell protein in anaerobic growth medium or about ten times this amount in aerobic medium. There appeared to be no differences between the two strains in their oxidative metabolism.

Activation of Complement by Treponema denticola

Journal of Dental Research, 1991
Oral spirochetes have been shown to be associated with periodontal diseases and are present in increased numbers in lesions of greater severity. In this study, the interaction of Treponema denticola with human complement, a major antibacterial defense system, was examined. For each of two strains of T.

Genetic Manipulation of Treponema denticola

Current Protocols in Microbiology, 2006
AbstractThe oral anaerobic spirochete, Treponema denticola, has been implicated in the etiology of human periodontal diseases; however, the molecular basis for the virulence of these organisms is still unclear. Potential pathogenic factors expressed by T. denticola have recently begun to be identified through the development of gene transfer approaches

Homology among Treponema denticola plasmids

Oral Microbiology and Immunology, 1994
Three of 16 isolates of Treponema denticola were found to contain small (2.0–2.7 kb) cryptic plasmids. These were pTD1 from T. denticola ATCC 33520, pTD2 from strain T32A, and pTD3 from strain D3A1. These plasmids were characterized by restriction mapping and cloned into E. coli plasmid pUC19.

Major proteins and antigens of Treponema denticola

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Proteins and Proteomics, 2009
Treponema denticola is a Gram-negative, motile, asaccharolytic, anaerobic spirochaete which along with Porphyromonas gingivalis and Tannerella forsythia has been shown to form a bacterial consortium called the Red Complex that is strongly associated with the clinical progression of chronic periodontitis. T.

Albumin requirement of Treponema denticola and Treponema vincentii

Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 1983
Treponema denticola and Treponema vincentii were found to require albumin, oleic acid, and thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) for growth. Previous studies indicated that commercial human alpha globulin, which is 50% albumin, was the only serum fraction that supported growth of these two oral treponemes.
