1. Oral Pathogen: Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is considered an oral pathogen and is often associated with periodontal diseases. It can colonize the periodontal pockets around teeth and contribute to the development of periodontitis, a severe form of gum disease.

2. Periodontal Diseases: Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans has been implicated in various periodontal diseases, including aggressive periodontitis. In aggressive periodontitis, there is a rapid loss of supporting structures around the teeth, leading to tooth mobility and potential tooth loss.

3. Endocarditis: While less common, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans has been associated with infective endocarditis, an infection of the heart valves. Individuals with pre-existing heart conditions may be at a higher risk.

4. Systemic Health: The presence of periodontal pathogens, including Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, has been studied in relation to systemic health. Some studies have explored potential links between periodontal diseases and conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. However, the nature of these associations is complex and may involve various factors.

5. Antibiotic Resistance: Some strains of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans may exhibit antibiotic resistance, which can impact treatment strategies for infections caused by this bacterium.

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
