Transcriptional analysis of the mfa ‐cluster genes in Porphyromonas gingivalis strains with one and two mfa5 genes
This study examined the transcriptional unit and activity ofmfa-cluster genes in strains with one (the ATCC 33277 and TDC60 strains) and two (the HG66 and A7436 strains)mfa5 genes. Complementary DNA was prepared from the total RNA extracted from the bacterial cells in the logarithmic growth phase using a random primer. PCR analysis for the intergenic regions frommfa1 tomfa5 ormfa5-2 showed thatmfa1 tomfa5 ormfa5-2 formed a polycistronic gene cluster. Quantitative real-time PCR showed that themfa1 transcription was 5 –10 times higher than that ofmfa2 in all the strains. However,mfa2 tomfa5 mostly showed a comparable expre...

Streptococcus mutans dexA affects exopolysaccharides production and biofilm homeostasis
Conclusion: In conclusion, deletion ofS. mutans dexA gene re-modules biofilm structure and microbiota composition, thereby leading to decreased cariogenicity. Thus, theS. mutans dexA may be an important target for regulating the cariogenicity of dental plaque biofilms, expecting to be a probiotic for caries control.This article is protected by copyright.

Antagonistic interactions by a high H2O2 ‐producing commensal streptococcus modulate caries development by Streptococcus mutans
AbstractDental caries (tooth-decay) is caused by biofilms harboring polymicrobial communities on teeth that leads to the onset of localized areas of enamel demineralization.Streptococcus mutans has been clinically associated with severe caries in childhood. Although commensal bacteria can combatS. mutans using self-generated antimicrobials such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), constant sugar-rich diet consumption disrupts microbial homeostasis shifting toward cariogenic community. Recently,Streptococcus oralis subsp.tigurinus strain J22, an oral isolate, was identified as a uniquely potent H2O2 producer. Here, we assess whethe...

Oral biofilm dysbiosis during experimental periodontitis
ConclusionThe data supports that murine gingival inflammation and alveolar bone loss develop in response to microbiome shifts. Bacterial diversity increased during progression to bone loss. These findings further support the utilization of the periodontitis ligature model for microbial shift analysis under different experimental conditions.This article is protected by copyright.

Differential oral microbiome in nonhuman primates from periodontitis ‐susceptible and periodontitis‐resistant matrilines
AbstractRhesus monkeys (n = 36) exhibiting a healthy periodontium at baseline were used to induce progressing periodontitis through ligature placement around premolar/molar teeth. Bacterial samples were collected at baseline, 0.5, 1, and 3 months of disease and at 5 months for disease resolution. The animals were distribu ted into two groups (18/group): 3–7 years (young) and 12–23 years (adult) and stratified based upon matriline susceptibility to periodontitis (PDS, susceptible; PDR, resistant). A total of 444 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) with 100 microbes representing a core microbiome present in ≥75% o f t...
