1. Periodontal Health:

   • Association with Periodontitis: Tannerella forsythia has been implicated in periodontitis, a severe form of gum disease. It is often found in periodontal pockets and sites with active inflammation.

2. Oral Microbiota:

   • Part of the Oral Microbiome: Tannerella forsythia is part of the complex microbial community in the oral cavity. Its abundance and interactions with other bacteria can influence oral health.

3. Pathogenic Mechanisms:

   • Virulence Factors: Tannerella forsythia possesses virulence factors that contribute to its pathogenicity. These include enzymes that can break down host tissues and evade the immune response.

4. Inflammatory Response:

   • Contribution to Inflammation: In the context of periodontitis, Tannerella forsythia can contribute to the inflammatory response in the gums, leading to tissue destruction and bone loss.

5. Diagnostic Marker:

   • Diagnostic Significance: Detection of Tannerella forsythia, along with other periodontal pathogens, is often used as a diagnostic marker for assessing periodontal disease severity.

Legend

• The interactions are based on data from 1000 healthy individuals using shotgun 10M reads Precision Biome, a provider in full conformity to EU regulations for health information
• The width of the lines indicates R² (the coefficient of determination)
• Green indicates positive slope
• Red indicates negative
• Interactions are not two way because incidence of each bacteria are different
