Animal researches have also reported the coordinated and collaborative pathogenicity of combined infections with Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum), T. denticola, T. forsythia and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcomitans), and P. gingivalis [5,6]. 2014 Jun;3(2):476-99. Acta Medica Medianae. Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and its association to disease As mentioned, periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory condition in the periodontal tissues, which leads to periodontal attachment loss and destruction of the alveolar bone that houses the teeth. 4. Growth is stimulated by the addition of CO2 and species grows well in 5-10 % of CO2 86. periodontitis, the prevalence of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonas gingivalis was 79.5 and 84.4%, respectively. The most common bacteria involved in periodontal pathologies of young individuals and in cases of refractory adult periodontitis is Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. 2017 Feb 17;8(2):111-4. ……..Contents available in the book…………..Contents available in the book…………..Contents available in the book…….. ……Contents available in the book……..Contents available in the book…………..Contents available in the book…………..Contents available in the book…….. DiRienzo JM. Fermentation of different carbohydrates. Entry of the bacteria into the cell permits them to either transit the epithelial cell barrier or persist and grow in a protected cellular environment. In 2006 it was again reclassified based on multilocus sequence analysis by Nørskov-Lauritsen N and Kilian M (2006) 84. Analysis of total proteins. It is one of the bacteria that might be implicated in destructive periodontal disease. LPS causes tissue destruction by the following mechanisms, The production of IL-1, TNF and prostaglandin (PGE, Periobasics A Textbook of Periodontics and Implantology, Text Book of Basic Sciences for MDS Students. It can also be identified by the use of DNA probes. The surface ultrastructure of A. actinomycetemcomitans demonstrates the following components. They interact and bind to very specific receptors in saliva, on the surface of the tooth, on extracellular matrix proteins and on epithelial cells. Kieselbach T, Zijnge V, Granström E, Oscarsson J. Proteomics of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans outer membrane vesicles. Topley and Wilson (1929) 82 reclassified it as Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans and Potts et al. These are small, short (0.4×1 µm) straight or curved rods with rounded ends 85. 2009;48(3):35-7. These structures are lipopolysaccharides in nature and originate from and are continuous with the outer membrane. identified 9 sRNA by Northern blotting from computer-predicted candidates in strain VT1169 and 202 sRNA by RNA seq in strain 624. It has also been isolated from actinomycotic lesions (mixed infection with certain Actinomyces species, in particular A. israelii). [10] This study confirmed the presence of one of previously identified Fur regulated sRNAs JA04 identified in strain HK1651. Taxonomic classification of bacterial serotypes is based on the following biochemical characteristic features: 1. Collagenase is primarily produced by ……Contents available in the book……..Contents available in the book…………..Contents available in the book…………..Contents available in the book…….. Fibroblasts are the most important source of collagen in the extracellular matrix. These are required for attachment of the bacterium to host. Although it has been found more frequently in localized aggressive periodontitis, prevalence in any population is rather high. Introduction to Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. Certain A. actinomycetemcomitans have an amorphous material that frequently embeds adjacent cells in the matrix. Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcomitans) is a Gram-negative coccobacillus that causes localized aggressive periodontitis (LAP) . A. actinomycetemcomitans is a very important periodontal pathogen. It has also been isolated from women with bacterial vaginosis and as an etiologic agent in endocarditis. The cytotoxin produced by, Almost all strains of A. actinomycetemcomitans have these vesicles. In its early stage, called gingivitis, the gums become swollen, red, and may bleed. These are a prominent feature of A. actinomycetemcomitans. Topley and Wilson (1929) 82 reclassified it as Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans and Potts et al. Most of the adhesins are proteinaceous in nature. Multivariate analysis of chemotaxonomic data. The cytotoxin produced by A. actinomycetemcomitans has been identified as a 50 kDa protein that inhibits DNA synthesis of fibroblasts 112. Respiratory quinones. First, these organisms are recovered in higher prevalence and proportions from progressive periodontitis lesions than from quiescent periodontal sites. Infect Immun 41: 19-27, 1983. Leukotoxin is a member of RTX (repeat in toxin) family of toxins which are responsible for the pore-forming leukotoxic and hemolytic activity 114. Reassignment of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans to the genus Haemophilus as Haemophilus actinomycetemcomitans comb. ), Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola and Tannerella forsythia. While the role of CdtA and CdtC is less clear, both proteins possess putative mucin-like carbohydrate-binding domains that predict interaction with the host cell surface.

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (previously Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans) is a Gram-negative, facultative anaerobe, nonmotile bacterium that is often found in association with localized aggressive periodontitis, a severe infection of the periodontium. These are proteins produced by bacteria that are lethal for other strains and species of bacteria. Virulence. Jorth et al. In addition, leukotoxin impairs the ability of lymphocytes to respond to mitogens by inhibiting DNA, RNA, protein, IgG and IgM synthesis 101. Amano and co-workers (2000) 132 have reported that both disease-associated and non-disease associated genotypes exist in P. gingivalis, suggesting that there is a significant predominance of P. gingivalis with type II fimA in periodontitis patients. Research work has shown that A. actinomycetemcomitans can penetrate the gingival epithelial cells 125,126. These bind to the Fc portion of an antibody and hence, inhibit phagocytosis. The information presented in this website has been collected from various leading journals, books and websites. Fimbriated strains produce colonies with a star-shaped interior structure. The active subunit, CdtB, exhibits DNase I activity. Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A.a) serotypes may add some important information of the pathogenetic background of periodontal infections. [5][6], In bacteria, small RNAs are involved in gene regulation. This bacterium was first isolated by Klinger 81 from a cervicofacial actinomycotic lesion in 1912 and was named Bacterium actinomycetemcomitans. 1. It has also been isolated from actinomycotic lesions (mixed infection with certain Actinomyces species, in particular A. israelii). Proteolysis sensitive factor in micro-vesicles. (1997) 127,128 suggest that primary receptor for A. actinomycetemcomitans invasion is transferrin receptor. Virulence. The first step in the pathogenesis of the periodontal disease is the adherence of bacteria to periodontal tissue. Multivariate analysis of chemotaxonomic data. Along with this, A. actinomycetemcomitans has been shown to be capable of inhibiting PMNs from producing some potent antibacterial agents that are gained when the PMNs fuse with lysosomes 101. Distinct adhesins may be expressed by bacterium under different environmental conditions 102. Differentiation is done by its ability to grow in the absence of haemin and factor V (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). consequently. A. actinomycetemcomitans stimulate bone resorption in periodontal tissues by various mechanisms; The surface-associated material has recently been identified as the molecular chaperone, GroEL. The species present include key periodontal pathogens, such as Aggregatibacter Actinomycetemcomitans (Aa for short! 2015 Apr 3;6(3):188-95. A. actinomycetemcomitans species with high leukotoxic production have abundant extra-cellular membrane vesicles. Ltx B and Ltx D are involved in transporting the toxin to the surface of the cell while Ltx C post-transitionally activates the toxin. Membranolytic activity, producing pores in the target cell. Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in pathogenesis of periodontitis, Periodontal maintenance (Supportive periodontal therapy), Orthodontic-periodontal interrelationship, Piezosurgery in periodontics and oral implantology. [2], Recent studies have shown a phylogenetic similarity of A. actinomycetemcomitans and Haemophilus aphrophilus, H. paraphrophilus, and H. segnis, suggesting the new genus Aggregatibacter for them. T en systemically healthy subjects (ages 28 to 60 years) with untreated moderate to severe periodontal disease and evidence of presence of A. actinomycetemcomitans underwent standard mechanical periodontal treatment consisting of oral hygiene instruction and systematic deep scaling and root planing. 6.
