• Fusobacterium nucleatum plays a key role in creating the pathogenic subgingival biofilm that initiates destructive periodontitis. (nature.com)
  • #Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) is a Gram-negative coccobacillus recognized as a pathogen in periodontitis and infective endocarditis. (metabiom.org)
  • The abundance of #Porphyromonadaceae and #Fusobacterium , which are co-pathogens in periodontitis and intestinal inflammation was significantly enriched in the gut of the C-SP group. (metabiom.org)
  • Literature data have reported that certain Gram-negative anaerobe bacteria from the subgingival environment are important etiological agents of chronic periodontal disease. (journal-imab-bg.org)
  • Below is a summary of the bacteria that may be present during the phases of plaque maturation: Early biofilm: primarily Gram-positive cocci Older biofilm (3-4 days): increased numbers of filaments and fusiforms 4-9 days undisturbed: more complex flora with rods, filamentous forms 7-14 days: Vibrio species, spirochetes, more Gram-negative organisms Dental plaque is considered a biofilm adhered to the tooth surface.

  • They also prevented biofilm formation by F. nucleatum at concentrations that did not interfere with bacterial growth. (nature.com)
  • In addition, the treatment of a pre-formed F. nucleatum biofilm with the green tea extract and EGCG caused a time-dependent decrease in biofilm viability. (nature.com)
  • Given its central role in biofilm formation, F. nucleatum may represent a key target for controlling biofilm formation. (nature.com)
  • Examples of such anaerobes include fusobacterium and actinobacteria. (wikipedia.org)
  • Additional virulence properties associated with F. nucleatum include hemolytic activity 8 and the ability to produce hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) 9 . (nature.com)
  • The green and black tea extracts, EGCG, and theaflavins decreased the adherence of F. nucleatum to oral epithelial cells and matrix proteins. (nature.com)
