| increased proliferation and decreased membrane permeability as defense mechanisms of fusobacterium nucleatum against human neutrophilic peptide-1. | human neutrophilic peptides (hnps) constitute a class of host defense molecules, which contribute to the non-oxidative killing of bacteria and other microorganisms. since the adaptability is crucial to bacterial survival in changing environments, it is of interest to know how fusobacterium nucleatum, the major bridge organism connecting early and late colonizers in dental biofilms, defends itself against hnps. this study aimed to examine the planktonic growth, membrane permeability, and biofilm ... | 2014 | 25132418 |
| individual growth detection of bacterial species in an in vitro oral polymicrobial biofilm model. | most in vitro studies on the antibacterial effects of antiseptics have used planktonic bacteria in monocultures. however, this study design does not reflect the in vivo situation in oral cavities harboring different bacterial species that live in symbiotic relationships in biofilms. the aim of this study was to establish a simple in vitro polymicrobial model consisting of only three bacterial strains of different phases of oral biofilm formation to simulate in vivo oral conditions. therefore, we ... | 2014 | 25119373 |

| bacterial periplasmic sialic acid-binding proteins exhibit a conserved binding site. | sialic acids are a family of related nine-carbon sugar acids that play important roles in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. these sialic acids are incorporated/decorated onto lipooligosaccharides as terminal sugars in multiple bacteria to evade the host immune system. many pathogenic bacteria scavenge sialic acids from their host and use them for molecular mimicry. the first step of this process is the transport of sialic acid to the cytoplasm, which often takes place using a tripartite atp-indep ... | 2014 | 25004958 |

| genome sequence of fusobacterium nucleatum strain w1481, a possible new subspecies isolated from a periodontal pocket. | fusobacterium nucleatum is a bacterial species commonly detected in dental plaque within the human oral cavity, with some strains associated with periodontal disease, one of the most common clinical bacterial infections in the human body. the exact mechanisms of its pathogenesis are still not completely understood. in this study, we present the genome sequence and annotation of f. nucleatum strain w1481, isolated from a periodontal pocket of a dental patient at the university of bristol, united ... | 2014 | 24526626 |
| inhibition of glutamate racemase by substrate-product analogues. | d-glutamate is an essential biosynthetic building block of the peptidoglycans that encapsulate the bacterial cell wall. glutamate racemase catalyzes the reversible formation of d-glutamate from l-glutamate and, hence, the enzyme is a potential therapeutic target. we show that the novel cyclic substrate-product analogue (r,s)-1-hydroxy-1-oxo-4-amino-4-carboxyphosphorinane is a modest, partial noncompetitive inhibitor of glutamate racemase from fusobacterium nucleatum (fngr), a pathogen responsibl ... | 2014 | 24507924 |
| transcriptional responses of treponema denticola to other oral bacterial species. | the classic organization by socransky and coworkers categorized the oral bacteria of the subgingival plaque into different complexes. treponema denticola, porphyromonas gingivalis and tannerella forsythia are grouped into the red complex that is highly correlated with periodontal disease. socransky's work closely associates red with orange complex species such as fusobacterium nucleatum and prevotella intermedia but not with members of the other complexes. while the relationship between species ... | 2014 | 24505483 |
| short-chain fatty acids from periodontal pathogens suppress histone deacetylases, ezh2, and suv39h1 to promote kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication. | periodontal pathogens such as porphyromonas gingivalis and fusobacterium nucleatum produce five different short-chain fatty acids (scfas) as metabolic by-products. we detect significantly higher levels of scfas in the saliva of patients with severe periodontal disease. the different scfas stimulate lytic gene expression of kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (kshv) dose dependently and synergistically. scfas inhibit class-1/2 histone deacetylases (hdacs) and downregulate expression of silent ... | 2014 | 24501407 |

| detection of fusobacterium nucleatum and fada adhesin gene in patients with orthodontic gingivitis and non-orthodontic periodontal inflammation. | fusobacterium nucleatum is one of the most abundant gram-negative bacilli colonizing the subgingival plaque and closely associated with periodontal disease. however it is unclear whether f. nucleatum is involved in gingival inflammation under orthodontic appliance. a novel adhesin, fada, which is unique to oral fusobacteria, is required for f. nucleatum binding and invasion to epithelial cells and thus may play an important role in colonization of fusobacterium in the host. in this study, we eva ... | 2014 | 24416378 |
| antibacterial and antigelatinolytic effects of satureja hortensis l. essential oil on epithelial cells exposed to fusobacterium nucleatum. | the present report examined the effects of essential oils (eos) from satureja hortensis l. and salvia fruticosa m. on the viability and outer membrane permeability of the periodontopathogen fusobacterium nucleatum, a key bacteria in oral biofilms, as well as the inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase (mmp-2 and mmp-9) activities in epithelial cells exposed to such bacteria. membrane permeability was tested by measuring the n-phenyl-1-naphthylamine uptake and bacterial viability by using the comm ... | 2015 | 24404975 |
| gene-diet interactions on colorectal cancer risk. | there has been increasing interest lately in understanding how natural dietary antioxidants affect chemoprevention, and recently, there has been a merging of information about antioxidants, endogenous and exogenous reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (rons), and inflammation. rons normally serve the cells as second messengers to regulate many of the intracellular signaling cascades that govern multiple cellular activities. however, when the amount of rons exceeds the cell's ability to metaboliz ... | 2012 | 24392268 |
| periodontal bacteria in the genital tract: are they related to adverse pregnancy outcome? | one of the most important factors implicated in preterm birth (ptb) is acute genitourinary tract infection. the bacteria causing chronic periodontal inflammation include gram-negative rods and anaerobes similar to those found in women with bacterial vaginosis. the aim of this prospective study is to investigate the relationship between oral and vaginal microflora and preterm low birth weight. real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to detect both the presence and level of six periodontitis- ... | 2017 | 24355228 |
