Q

Attachment of bacteria:

A

Within hours, bacteria begin to attach to the out surface of the pellicle. (via fimbriae on bacteria)

Typically begins with beneficial bacteria

Q

What is attached (tooth-associated) subgingival plaque, where is it attached?

A

the zone of subgingival plaque directly attached to the surface of the tooth or calculus in the sulcus and pocket.

Q

What is unattached (epithelial) subgingival plaque?

A
  • not directly attached to tooth.
  • gram-negative, motile bacteria
  • in direct contact with junctional and sulcular epithelium.

A

P. intermedia

intermediate sized Spirochetes

23

P. gingivalis
P intermedia
C. recta

24

26
Q

What are the characteristics of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A.a.)

A
  • small, non-motile
  • gram negative
  • facultative anaerobe
  • saccharolytic
  • coccobacillus
  • small convew colonies with a “star shaped” center
27
Q

What is A.a. commonly associated with?

A

-aggressive periodontitis

28
Q

What is a unique ability of A.a?

A

Has the ability to invade host epithelial cells.

29
Q

What are exotoxins?

A

extracellular substances produced by bacteria which are toxic to certain cells or tissues of the body.

examples: botulinum, tetanus, diphteria

30
Q

What exotoxin does A.a. produce? What does it do?

A

Leukotoxin.

Kills PMNs and monocytes in blood and pocket.

31
Q

What are endotoxins?

A

-

32
Q

What is lipopolysaccharide (LPS)?

A

is a virulence factor associated with many gram-negative bugs.

LPS is an integral part of the outer membrane and is released with bacteria dies.

**Causes/promotes tissue damage.

33
Q

What happens with LPS release?

A
  • has cytotoxic effects
  • complement activation
  • bone resorption (direct or indirect)
34
Q

Characteristics of Porphyomonas gingivalis:

A
  • gram negative
  • anaerobic
  • non-motile
  • asaccharolytic
  • rod shaped (bacillus)
  • “black pigmented bacteroides”
  • *invades epithelial cells
  • forms dark brown/black colonies
