Q

what makes oral diseases so complicated?

A

1) Polymicrobial diseases (not a single lone etiological agent)

-Even periopathogens can be detected in healthy subjects

- Can have Caries without Streptococcus mutans present

2) Everyone Harbors Variations in Their Microbial Composition

-Same disease but do not carry the same bacterial species

-Species can be same in two oral samples but also in different amounts.

Q

Limitations of 16S rRNA gene sequencing (identifies and places an organism in relation to other known groups) with respect to virulence

A

does not tell you what genes the bacteria has (ex: antibiotic resistance or toxin producing?)

Q

3 modes of acquisition or transferring of genes in bacteria

A

transformation: donor cell releases DNA into the recipient cell
transduction: phage from infected donor cell releases DNA into the recipient cell
conjugation: donor cell connects to recipient cell and releases plasmid

18
Q

Dentition of annotation with respect to bacterial genetics and the first 2 steps

this process tells us?

A

annotation: the process of attaching biological information to sequences. It consists of three main steps:

1) identifying elements on the sequence, a process called gene prediction

2) Assigning biological information to these predicted genes.

-does the gene look like something that has been seen before (homology based prediction)

tells us what species are present and the genes (functions)

19
Q

3 mechanisms that can result in the alteration of a gene and the outcome from this type of mutation

A

deletion: loss of function
duplication: additional copy of a gene
shuffling: change of position on a chromosome

–> Above events may lead to increase or decrease gene expression (upregulation/downregulation)

20
Q

what is the Ecological Plaque Hypothesis?

A

shifts in the amounts of organisms can lead to the development of disease

these population shifts can be caused by a change in environemntal conditions (like diet or immune status)

21
Q

reporting methods:

__________ by taxonomic classification

________ indices

cluster analyses of species comparisons (___________)

statistical ________ between subjects/samples/populations

A

abundances

diversity

sample comparisons

methods to determine differences

22
Q

Each site in the oral cavity contains different proportions of ________ with lots of overlap

A

genera

23

Domain

Kingdom

Phylum

Class

Order

Family

Genus

Species

24
Q

consequences of bacteria evolving to bind to a partner species (4)

A

mutually beneficial

parasitic

antagonistic

virulence changes (dentirmental to human host)

25
Q

define metaomics

how many species at once?

A

Characterization of all the genes/mRNA/proteins/metabolites present in biological systems

100-1000s of species at once

26
Q

Why is Species identification using 16S rRNA not enough?

A

1) Identical 16S rRNA gene does not necessarily mean same virulence genes and functions in the genome
2) A single genetic marker is typically not enough to truly delineate strains or clones that have different virulence
