| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to clarify the role of hydrogen sulfide on abscess formation, we constructed the hydrogen-sulfide-deficient mutant of Streptococcus anginosus. There were no differences in abscess formation between wild type and mutant. In addition, we constructed the hydrogen-sulfide-deficient mutant of Porphyromonas gingivalis, too. There were significant differences in abscess formation between wild type and mutant.From these results, we concluded the hydrogen-sulfide producing genes of these organisms have quite different roles for abscess formation. These results suggest that the hydrogen sulfide producing genes regulate the other genes and these genes cause the abscess formation in these bacteria. Of these bacteria, the genes regulated by hydrogen sulfide producing gene seem to be quite different.
In conclusion, we found the hydrogen sulfide-producing gene of P. gingivalis plays crucial role for abscess formation, while that of S. anginosus does not effect on abscess formation.
