| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Periodontitis is a typical polymicrobial infection. To clarify contribution of the bacterial interaction for development of periodontitis, we investigated the effect of co-culture of periodontopathic bacteria on virulence of each microorganisms. In the tested microorganisms, F. nucleatum enhanced biofilm formation by P. micra, which is predominant microorganism in apical periodontitis. In the combination of P. gingivalis and F. nucleatum, which are highly prevalent in chronic periodontitis, P. gingivalis enhanced biofilm formation by F. nucleatum, and F. nucleatum enhanced invasion of epithelial cells by P. gingivalis. These results suggest that enhancement of virulence by combination of the specific periodontopathic bacteria involves development of periodontitis.
