Pathogen-related oral spirochetes from dental plaque are invasive.
Spirochetes that share pathogen-restricted antigens with Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum have been identified in dental plaque and diseased gingival tissues, but it is not known whether these spirochetes possess virulence characteristics. In this study, plaque spirochetes were able to transmigrate a tissue barrier in vitro and were identified on the other side by using monoclonal antibodies ...
متن کاملPhylogenetic analysis of the spirochetes.
The 16S rRNA sequences were determined for species of Spirochaeta, Treponema, Borrelia, Leptospira, Leptonema, and Serpula, using a modified Sanger method of direct RNA sequencing. Analysis of aligned 16S rRNA sequences indicated that the spirochetes form a coherent taxon composed of six major clusters or groups. The first group, termed the treponemes, was divided into two subgroups. The first ...
متن کاملPhylogenetic foundation of spirochetes.
The spirochetes are free-living or host-associated, helical bacteria, some of which are pathogenic to man and animal. Comparisons of 16S rRNA sequences demonstrate that the spirochetes represent a monophyletic phylum within the bacteria. The spirochetes are presently classified in the Class Spirochaetes in the order Spirochetales and are divided into three major phylogenetic groupings, or famil...
متن کاملPhenotypic and genotypic heterogeneity among cultivable pathogen-related oral spirochetes and Treponema vincentii.
Recent findings challenge the assumption that pathogen-related oral spirochetes (PROS) are related to Treponema pallidum. Treponema vincentii, grown in OMIZ-Pat media, cross-reacted with monoclonal antibody H9-2 against T. pallidum, and cultivable PROS had 16S rRNA gene sequences similar to those of T. vincentii (C.-B. Choi, C. Wyss, and U. B. Göbel. J. Clin. Microbiol. 34:1922-1925, 1996). Aim...
متن کاملIsolation, identification and phylogenetic analysis of a pathogen of Haliotis diversicolor supertexta (L.) with mass mortalities
This study was conducted to determine a disease outbreak in 14 day old post-larvae of abalone (Haliotis diversicolor supertexta) which caused mass mortality in July 2010 in Shanwei, China. Twenty-nine bacterial strains were isolated from a sample pool of 10 diseased post-larval abalones on 2216E marine agar plates during a natural outbreak of the disease. Among them, a dominant isolate (referre...
