Periodontal microbial ecology.
TL;DR: This manuscript is a brief primer on microbial ecology, because, although the importance of microbial ecology in periodontal diseases is widely recognized, most of us do not know precisely what the term means.

Abstract: The authors have taken the liberty of presenting this manuscript in two parts. The first is a brief primer on microbial ecology, because, although the importance of microbial ecology in periodontal diseases is widely recognized, most of us do not know precisely what is meant by the term. The second section is a rather extensive overview of current studies of oral microbial ecology based almost entirely on recent in vivo studies.

Periodontitis: from microbial immune subversion to systemic inflammation
TL;DR: The mechanisms of microbial immune subversion that tip the balance from homeostasis to disease in oral or extra-oral sites are discussed.
The oral microbiota: dynamic communities and host interactions.
TL;DR: Current knowledge and emerging mechanisms governing oral polymicrobial synergy and dysbiosis that have both enhanced the understanding of pathogenic mechanisms and aided the design of innovative therapeutic approaches for oral diseases are discussed.
So depression is an inflammatory disease, but where does the inflammation come from?

TL;DR: The identification of known sources of inflammation provides support for inflammation as a mediating pathway to both risk and neuroprogression in depression.
The role of bacterial biofilms in chronic infections
TL;DR: Evidence is presented to support a view that the biofilm lifestyle dominates chronic bacterial infections, where bacterial aggregation is the default mode, and that subsequent biofilm development progresses by adaptation to nutritional and environmental conditions.

TL;DR: This study provides a global-scale framework for the ecological events in subgingival communities that underline the development of periodontitis and elucidate the relationship between inflammation and the subgesival microbiome.

Etiologic models for incident periodontal attachment loss in older adults
TL;DR: Results confirm a multifactorial etiology for ALOSS in older adults and indicate that interventions aimed at infection, smoking, and preventive dental care utilization, may be most useful.
Dependence of proliferation of Bacteroides forsythus on exogenous N-acetylmuramic acid.
TL;DR: Bacteroides forsythus is the first wild-type or mutant bacterium found to require exogenous N-acetylmuramic acid for proliferation and maintenance of cell shape, which implies so far unknown pathways for peptidoglycan synthesis and a strict dependence of B. forSythus on other bacteria in its oral habitat.
Prevalence of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Periodontal Health Status
TL;DR: To compare the prevalence of P. gingivalis in a group with periodontitis to that of a group that is periodontally healthy, a comprehensive sampling strategy and a sensitive PCR assay were used to maximize the likelihood of detection.
Ecological considerations in the treatment of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonas gingivalis periodontal infections.
TL;DR: The appearance of this issue of PERIODONTOLOGY 2000 is a tribute to the sustained efforts of an international group of oral microbiologists, immunologists and clinical investigators.
The Growth of Oral Bacteria on Saliva
M.H. de Jong,J.S. van der Hoeven +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that specific binding of glycoproteins by oral bacteria constitutes a mechanism for the degradation of salivary glycoprotein by the oral microflora and that S. sanguis II had a higher cell yield and consumed a higher proportion of the sugars and sialic acid in the glyCoproteins than did S. Sanguis I.
