Delineation of global, absolutely essential and conditionally essential pangenomes of Porphyromonas gingivalis

Abstract excerpt

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a Gram-negative, anaerobic oral pathobiont, an etiological agent of periodontitis and the most commonly studied periodontal bacterium. Multiple low passage clinical isolates were sequenced, and their genomes compared to several laboratory strains. Phylogenetic distances were mapped, a gene absence-presence matrix generated, and core (present in all genomes) and accessory (absent in one...
