Introduction
T. forsythia is an infectious microbe found in the oral cavities of mammals. It is an infectious bacteria associated with the periodontal diseases of gingivitis and periodontal disease. Gingivitis is characterized by tissue inflammation, while periodontitis is characterized by alveolar bone resorption as well as bone and tooth loss. The symptoms of these diseases give T. forsythia and other periodontal disease causing bacteria their namesake. These diseases/infections become present when plaque buildup is great and allow T. forsythia to have a place to live and reproduce. In the case of dogs, it is common for them to have problems with periodontal diseases due to the fact that they cannot brush their teeth. This poses a problem to humans that are bitten by canines with plaque buildup. If this happens, they run the risk of being exposed to this microbe, and have the potential to get an infection of the epidermis in the form of an abscess. []
