Pathogen-related oral spirochetes from dental plaque are invasive.
Spirochetes that share pathogen-restricted antigens with Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum have been identified in dental plaque and diseased gingival tissues, but it is not known whether these spirochetes possess virulence characteristics. In this study, plaque spirochetes were able to transmigrate a tissue barrier in vitro and were identified on the other side by using monoclonal antibodies ...
متن کاملDetection of oral anaerobic spirochetes in dental plaque by the indirect fluorescent-antibody technique.
The indirect fluorescent-antibody technique was found to be a rapid and sensitive tool for the detection of oral anaerobic spirochetes in dental plaque.
متن کاملFlagellins, but not endoflagellar sheath proteins, of Treponema pallidum and of pathogen-related oral spirochetes are glycosylated.
Glycosylation of the flagellar core proteins (FlaBs) was detected in Treponema pallidum Nichols and in the type or reference strains of seven oral Treponema species. In several nonmotile strains of oral treponemes, the FlaBs were undetectable by both antibody and glycan staining. In contrast, a spontaneous low-motility variant of T. vincenti poundi-related strain RitzA, OMZ 305A, lacked the fla...
متن کاملPhenotypic and genotypic heterogeneity among cultivable pathogen-related oral spirochetes and Treponema vincentii.
Recent findings challenge the assumption that pathogen-related oral spirochetes (PROS) are related to Treponema pallidum. Treponema vincentii, grown in OMIZ-Pat media, cross-reacted with monoclonal antibody H9-2 against T. pallidum, and cultivable PROS had 16S rRNA gene sequences similar to those of T. vincentii (C.-B. Choi, C. Wyss, and U. B. Göbel. J. Clin. Microbiol. 34:1922-1925, 1996). Aim...
متن کاملPathogen-related spirochetes identified within gingival tissue from patients with acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis.
The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether monoclonal antibodies against pathogen-restricted antigens of Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum could be used as probes for spirochetes in diseased gingival tissue from subjects with acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis. A biotin-streptavidin system was used to identify spirochetes bound by monoclonal antibodies in cryostat sections...
