| Abstract | Background: More than 75 species/species-level phylotypes of oral treponeme bacteria inhabit the oral cavity. However, their respective genomic compositions and clinical distributions remain poorly understood.Objectives: To compare distributions of phylogroup 1 and 2 oral treponemes in subjects with various periodontal health conditions, via sequence analysis of a highly-conserved treponeme ‘housekeeping’ gene.Methods: Subgingival plaque samples were collected from Chinese subjects with chronic periodontitis (n=5), aggressive periodontitis (n=4), gingivitis (n=5), and healthy controls (n=4). Samples were analyzed by a PCR/plasmid clone sequencing-based approach, using primer sets targeting the pyrH gene. Data was analyzed using various computational/bioinformatic approaches.Results: 1,227 quality-filtered pyrH gene sequences were obtained (mean 66.2±9.6 sequences per subject), which were assigned to 33 ‘pyrH genotypes’ (97% identity cut-off). 538 pyrH sequences (17 pyrH genotypes) corresponded to phylogroup 1 treponemes (including ‘T. vincentii’, Treponema medium, and ‘Treponema sinensis’ taxa). 689 pyrH sequences (16 pyrH genotypes) corresponded to phylogroup 2 taxa. Correlations between pyrH genotype distributions and disease status were complex. One pyrH genotype, which was phylogenetically-related to T. denticola GM-1/MS25 strains, was highly prevalent: being detected in 17/18 subjects.Conclusions: Both healthy and periodontally-diseased subjects harbor multiple genetic lineages corresponding to the same treponeme species/phylotype within their subgingival niches. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
