Query: NC_016610:2077603 Tannerella forsythia ATCC 43037 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Tannerella forsythia; Tannerella; Porphyromonadaceae; Bacteroidales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria

General Information: This organism is a key agent in the progression of periodontal disease and is involved in bone loss and loss of attachment of teeth. The pathogenic factors involved in this are poorly understood. Unlike other periodontal organism such as Porphyromonas gingivalis and Prevotella intermedia, this organism is difficult to culture and the prevalence of the organism in periodontal disease may be underestimated. This organism is synergistic with Porphyromonas gingivalis, and the presence of both accelerates progression of the disease.

Subject: NC_015311:403281 Prevotella denticola F0289 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Prevotella denticola; Prevotella; Prevotellaceae; Bacteroidales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria

General Information: This is a genus of gram negative anaerobic bacteria.Some strains are present in humans, including Prevotella denticola. They are predominantly oral and can be opportunistic pathogens.
