| coaggregation of candida albicans with oral fusobacterium species. | nine strains of oral fusobacterium were examined for their ability to coaggregate in vitro with four strains of the oral yeast. candida albicans. all of the fusobacterium nucleatum strains and fusobacterium periodontium and fusobacterium sulci coaggregated to various degrees with all of the candida strains. fusobacterium alocis, fusobacterium mortiferum and fusobactrium simiae strains did not coaggregate with any of the candida strains. exposure of the coaggregating fusobacterium strains but not ... | 1997 | 9467403 |
| phylogenetic analysis of fusobacterium alocis and fusobacterium sulci based on 16s rrna gene sequences: proposal of filifactor alocis (cato, moore and moore) comb. nov. and eubacterium sulci (cato, moore and moore) comb. nov. | genes encoding the 16s rrna of fusobacterium alocis atcc 35896t and fusobacterium sulci atcc 35585t were sequenced. these sequences did not have any affinity with the 16s rrna gene sequences of members of the genus fusobacterium. fusobacterium alocis atcc 35896t and fusobacterium sulci atcc 35585t belonged to clostridium cluster xi; the species most closely related to these strains were filifactor villosus nctc 11220t and eubacterium infirmum w1471, respectively. two new combinations are propose ... | 1999 | 10555315 |
| update on the taxonomy and clinical aspects of the genus fusobacterium. | the genus fusobacterium currently includes 13 species. fusobacterium nucleatum, the most frequently encountered species in humans, is heterogeneous and currently includes 5 subspecies. a potentially new subspecies of f. nucleatum that is intrinsically quinolone-resistant and phylogenetically separate from the other 5 subspecies has been identified from dog and cat oral flora. two subspecies have been described for fusobacterium necrophorum, and a new species, fusobacterium equinum, which is rela ... | 2002 | 12173104 |
| diversity of bacterial populations on the tongue dorsa of patients with halitosis and healthy patients. | the primary purpose of the present study was to compare the microbial profiles of the tongue dorsa of healthy subjects and subjects with halitosis by using culture-independent molecular methods. our overall goal was to determine the bacterial diversity on the surface of the tongue dorsum as part of our ongoing efforts to identify all cultivable and not-yet-cultivated species of the oral cavity. tongue dorsum scrapings were analyzed from healthy subjects with no complaints of halitosis and subjec ... | 2003 | 12574246 |
| antimicrobial activity of streptococcus salivarius k12 on bacteria involved in oral malodour. | to investigate the antimicrobial activity of the bacteriocin-producing strain streptococcus salivarius k12 against several bacteria involved in halitosis. | 2012 | 22405584 |
