Detection of Treponema denticola in atherosclerotic lesions.
We examined 26 atherosclerotic lesions and 14 nondiseased aorta specimens to detect the periodontopathogenic part of the bacterial 16S rRNA locus by PCR. Treponema denticola sequence of the 16S rRNA locus was found in 6 out of 26 DNA samples (23.1%) from the formalin-fixed, paraffin-embeded atherosclerotic lesions obtained during surgery but not in any of the 14 nondiseased aorta samples from d...
متن کاملEffect of fluoride on Treponema denticola.
The effect of fluoride on the growth of Treponema denticola was studied. Fluoride, at a concentration of 20 micrograms/ml, was found to suppress the growth of all three strains tested. Growth was completely inhibited by 40 micrograms of fluoride per ml.
متن کاملRole of Treponema denticola in periodontal diseases.
Among periodontal anaerobic pathogens, the oral spirochetes, and especially Treponema denticola, have been associated with periodontal diseases such as early-onset periodontitis, necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis, and acute pericoronitis. Basic research as well as clinical evidence suggest that the prevalence of T denticola, together with other proteolytic gram-negative bacteria in high numbers...
متن کاملBinding properties of Treponema denticola lipooligosaccharide
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The cell-surface lipooligosaccharide (LOS) of Treponema denticola possesses several biological properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the binding properties of T. denticola LOS to extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, mucosal cells, and oral bacteria. DESIGN LOS was isolated from T. denticola and labeled with tritium. Tritium-labeled LOS was placed in ECM...
متن کاملTreponema denticola interactions with host proteins
Oral Treponema species, most notably T. denticola, are implicated in the destructive effects of human periodontal disease. Progress in the molecular analysis of interactions between T. denticola and host proteins is reviewed here, with particular emphasis on the characterization of surface-expressed and secreted proteins of T. denticola involved in interactions with host cells, extracellular ma...
