Description and significance
Porphyromonas gingivalis and Porphyromonas endodontalis are two species that belong to the phylum Bacteriodetes. For the purpose of this study, the main focus will be Porphyromonas gingivalis as both species have very similar attributes, however P. gingivalis is the most prevalent and primary cause of disease, P. endodontalis is an associated organism involved in the disease and differences amongst the two will be mentioned in detail. Porphyromonas gingivalis is a Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium, that is non-motile and rod-shaped and is also the major etiological causative agent of chronic periodontitis. P. gingivalis is commonly found in the oral cavity and implicated in certain forms of periodontal disease. Also found in upper gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract and colon. It has also been isolated from women with bacterial vaginosis. P. endodontalis is commonly found in infected dental root canals and submucous abscesses of endodontal origin. It is also occasionally found on oral mucous membranes and periodontal pockets. Genome was first sequenced and cultured by the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), and it is important as P. gingivalis is not only isolated to the oral cavity/mouth. Both strains of Porphyromonas have been cultured in lab and both produce black-pigmented bacteria, however culturing is not the best way of identifying the species, Polymerase Chain Reaction produces a higher frequency of species production. The importance of studying disesease associated with P. gingivalis is that according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), periodontal disease affects 10-15% of the adult population worldwide [2]
Genome structure
The genome of P. gingivalis has been described in 2003 and revealed 1,990 open reading frames (i.e. protein-coding sequences), encoded by 2,343,479 bp, with an average G+C content of 48.3%. An estimated 463 genes are essential
Cell structure and metabolism
Ecology
Aerobe/anaerobe, habitat (location in the oral cavity, potential other environments) and microbe/host interactions.
Pathology
Do these microorganisms cause disease in the oral cavity or elsewhere?
Application to biotechnology
Bioengineering, biotechnologically relevant enzyme/compound production, drug targets,…
Current research
Summarise some of the most recent discoveries regarding this species.
