what are some gram negative anaerobic bacilli that are non motile
bactericides prophorymonans prevotella tannerlla fusobac leptotrichia
what is tannerella forsythia
saccharolytic
non pigmented bacteria
what does tannerlla forsythia do to blood agar
pits the surface
what is tannerlla forsythia associated with
periodontitis
but not when in isolation
what are some virulence factors of tannerlla forsythia
fibronectin apoptosis inducing factor protease hemagglutinin mirolysin
what is fibronectin do
BspA adhesion invasion induces release bone reads pro inflam cytokines induces chemokine
what do chemokine do
recruit neutrophils
inflammation
tissue destruction
how is the pathogenicity of tannerella forsythia limited
polymicrobial
wound chamber does not cause disease
gnotobiotic rats dont colonise efficiently
what are the interactions of tannerlaa forsythia
P gingival - enhances attachment to epi cells
forms mixed films with fusobac
what is fusobacterium
gram -ve spindle shaped FUSIFORM bac
pathogenic
what are some sub species of fusobacterium nucleate

what can fusobac bind
gram -ve and +ve
what is fusobac mostly involved in
saccharolytic
binding organism
where does fusobac colonise
gingival sulus
what is the fusobacterium linked to
endotoxin linked to periodontitis
what virulence factor of fusobac is involved in extra oral infections
FadA
binds to epi cells
enter fibroblasts
what is fusobac nucleatum involved in
acute ulcerative gingivitis AUG
what is usually assc with fusobac nucleatum
treponema vincentii
spirochaete
= fusospirochateal infection
whatcondiion is assc with fusobac nucleatum
vincents angina cancrum oris ( AUG tissue destroy and immunosuppression)
when is AUG most common
young adults
smokers
ulcers on marginal margins
what can happen from AUG
gingival sore and bleed
