Centipeda periodontii gen. nov., sp. nov. from Human Periodontal Lesions

Abstract: Nine strains of motile, anaerobic, nonsporeforming, gram-negative bacteria were isolated from human lesions of adult and juvenile periodontitis and compared with type strains Fusobacterium plauti ATCC 29863, Selenomonas sputigena ATCC 33150, Selenomonas ruminantium ATCC 12561, and Pectinatus cerevisiiphilus ATCC 29359. The cells of our isolates were long and serpentine and appeared to be bilaterally flagellated when they were examined by dark-field microscopy, giving the cells a centipede-like appearance.

“…Members of three genera, Selenomonas (l), Pectinatus (7), and Centipeda (6), are anaerobic gramnegative rods that produce major amounts of propionic acid from fermentation of glucose. Because the G+C content of the DNA of the strains studied was 56 to 58 mol%, which is similar to the 57 mol% G+C content of the DNA of the type strain of Selenomonas sputigena (4,5) and different from the 40 mol% G + C content of the DNA of Pectinatus cerevisiiphilus (7), the sole species in the genus Pectinatus, and from the 51 to 54 mol% G + C content of the DNA of Centipedu periodontii (6), the sole species in the genus Centipedu, the strains were considered to be new species of Selenomonas. In addition, the strains of the new species had flagella arranged in tufts on the concave side of the cell, typical of Selenomonas species and unlike the linear arrangement of flagella on the concave side of the cell found in Pectinatus species or the spiral arrangement around the cell found in Centipedu species.…”

“…Cluster VI embraces the members of Moorella, established for the former C. thermoaceticum [30]. This cluster also harbors Anaerovibrio lipolyticus [84], Mitsuokella multacida, Centipedia periodontii [85], Anaeromusa acidaminophila [86], Succinispira mobilis [87], Veillonella species, Dendrosporobacter quercicola [3], Quinella ovalis [88], Dialister pneumosintes [89], Anaerosinus glyzcerini [84], Anaeroarcus burkinensis [84], Acetonema longum [90], Succiniclasticum ruminis [91], and Schwartzia succinivorans [92]. Especially cluster IX contains a rich spectrum of different genera.…”

“…At the same time the only other oral organisms detected by the probe are two unclassified Veillonellaceae clones, and two isolates and a clone of the closely related species C. periodontii (Ribosomal Database Project II (29), as of December 2009). C. periodontii was first isolated in 1983 and is associated with chronic and aggressive periodontitis lesions (34). However, infection with the organism seems to occur only rarely, as the vast majority of culture-based and open-ended DNA-based studies have failed to detect it (12,16,22,23,35).…”
