Description and significance
Porphyromonas gingivalis is a gram-negative, obligate anaerobic, non-motile, non-spore-forming microorganism and is one of the predominant human oral microbiota. [1] This rod-shaped, black-pigmented, asaccharolytic and highly proteolytic bacterium cannot grow in the existence of bile (20%) and on rabbit blood agar plates, they have an average size of diameter below 1.5 μm, living individually from each other. [1],[2] It is often found in a deep periodontal pocket, human subgingival plaque, living along with approximately other >500 species of bacteria. [3]
P. gingivalis is a primary causative pathogen that contributed to a chronic periodontitis, a disease that is characterized by the demolition of tooth-supporting tissues, affecting about 50% of population >30 years of age in the United States and globally, it affects about 10-15% adult populations. [1],[4] The disease usually started as an acute gingival tissue inflammation, but then may advance to a creation of teeth pocket which may cause loss of teeth if it is not treated. [3] Periodontitis is more susceptible among patient acquiring systemic diseases. [5],[6]
Periodontitis has been linked with cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease, heart attack and stroke. [3],[7] Other than periodontitis, P. gingivalis has also been associated with pulpal infection, oral abscesses and it was also detected in women with bacterial vaginosis which may cause burning with urination. [8],[9],[10] The bacteria of virulent strain, W83 was first discovered in the 1950s at Bonn, Germany by H.Werner, obtained from an undocumented oral disease and then in 1960s, it was brought by Madeleine Sebald to The Pasteur Institute. [11] P. gingivalis has been cultured and was available at American Type Culture Collection. [12]
Although there have been numerous studies done to explain the mechanism of virulence factors secreted by P. gingivalis and how they interact with the host, investigating a gene or protein in isolation without considering other molecular networks is not truly insightful because in the actual in vivo environment, the genes may work as a system, hence may interact differently than a single virulence factor to the host cells. Adding to that, rather than working alone, P. gingivalis is also likely to interact with other microbes to survive in the harsh environment of the periodontal pocket. [3] Therefore, further research needs to be performed to improve our understanding of the interaction between periodontal bacteria and host cells at the molecular and cellular level so that effective approaches can be implemented to control the disease caused by this bacterium.
Genome structure
The genome size of strain W83 (GenBank: AE015924.1) is 2,343,479 bp containing 4 ribosomal operons (5S-23S-tRNAAla-tRNAIle-16S), 2 structural RNA genes and 53 specific amino-acid tRNA genes, with an average G+C content of 48.3% and having a total ORF of 1990 (covered the complete genome by 85%) (1-2). 54% (1,075) of the 1,990 ORF consisted of biological role categories, 10.5% (208) of those have an unknown function, 9.2% (184) were conserved hypothetical proteins/domain proteins while the other 26.3% (523) were hypothetical proteins (2). Repetitive elements such as DNA repeats (which include clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRSPRs) and uninterrupted direct repeats) and transposable components (which include insertion sequence (IS) elements and miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements (MITEs)) made up 6% of the whole genome (2). However, the strain did not contain other classes of dispersed repetitive DNA sequence elements which include ERIC and REP elements (2).
Cell structure and metabolism
Cell wall, biofilm formation, motility, metabolic functions.
Ecology
Aerobe/anaerobe, habitat (location in the oral cavity, potential other environments) and microbe/host interactions.
Pathology
Application to biotechnology
Bioengineering, biotechnologically relevant enzyme/compound production, drug targets,…
Current research
Summarise some of the most recent discoveries regarding this species.
