Prokaryotic Cells01:51

Prokaryotic Cells

121.1K
Prokaryotes are small unicellular organisms that include the domains—Archaea and Bacteria. Bacteria include many common organisms, such as Salmonella and E. coli, while the Archaea include extremophiles that live in harsh environments, such as volcanic springs.
Like eukaryotic cells, all prokaryotic cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane, have genetic material in the form of single, circular DNA, a cytoplasm that fills the interior of the cell, and ribosomes that synthesize proteins....

Bacterial Flora of the Large Intestine01:29

Bacterial Flora of the Large Intestine

374
The gut microbiome is formed by a vast and diverse community of bacteria that colonizes our large intestine. These bacteria start residing in the gut from birth and continue diversifying throughout life, influenced by factors such as diet, lifestyle, and stress. The gut bacterial community also includes bacteria from food and those that enter the colon through the anus.
The normal gut flora of the colon plays a critical role in generating essential vitamins such as vitamins K, B5, and B7.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Periodontology
  • Oral Health

Background:

  • Periodontal disease affects 90% of the global population.
  • Specific bacterial strains within dental biofilm are responsible for destructive periodontal activity.
  • Green and red complex bacteria are recognized as primary contributors to disease initiation and progression.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define the bacterial genera comprising the green complex.
  • To elucidate the role of green complex bacteria in the initiation and progression of periodontitis.
  • To explore the mechanisms employed by these bacteria to evade immune surveillance.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on periodontal pathogens.
  • Analysis of clinical and experimental studies on bacterial roles in periodontitis.
  • Identification of key virulence factors and immune evasion strategies of green complex bacteria.

Main Results:

  • The green complex includes Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Capnocytophaga, and Eikenella corrodens.
  • These bacteria possess specific mechanisms for immune evasion.
  • They contribute significantly to the destructive processes in the periodontium.

Conclusions:

  • Green complex bacteria are critical etiological agents in periodontitis.
  • Further research into their virulence factors can inform targeted therapeutic strategies.
  • Understanding these pathogens is essential for effective periodontal disease management.
