Identification of essential genes of the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis
31 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Porphyromonas gingivalis is a Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium associated with periodontal disease onset and progression. Genetic tools for the manipulation of bacterial genomes allow for in-depth mechanistic studies of metabolism, physiology, interspecies and host-pathogen interactions. Analysis of the essential genes, protein-coding sequences necessary for survival of P. gingivalis by transposon...
