Leptotrichia species in human infections II

Abstract: Leptotrichia species are non-motile facultative anaerobic/anaerobic bacteria that are found mostly in the oral cavity and some other parts of the human body, in animals, and even in ocean sediments. Valid species include L. buccalis, L. goodfellowii, L. hofstadii, L. honkongensis, L. shahii, L. trevisanii, and L. wadei. Some species require serum or blood for growth. All species ferment carbohydrates and produce lactic acid that may be involved with tooth decay. Acting as opportunistic pathogens, they are invo… Show more

“…Among genera usually reported as part of the normal flora of the gastrointestinal tract, only Veillonella is found regularly at other sites, like the mouth 77 . Leptotrichia species mostly colonize the oral cavity and they were isolated from various human infections, suggesting that they are emerging human pathogens 78,79 . Oribacterium also inhabits the mouth, besides the upper respiratory tract 80 .…”

“…The species within the family Leptotrichiaceae, order Fusobacteriales, are large, fusiform, non-sporulating and nonmotile rods or coccobacilli with a Gram-negative-like cell wall [1,2]. The species are mainly capnophilic or anaerobic, especially on first isolation, but many strains subsequently grow aerobically in the presence of CO 2 [2].…”

“…in various infectious diseases has gained considerable attention (Eribe and Olsen, 2017). However, the exact clinical impact of Leptotrichia species relevant to infectious diseases remains unclear due to difficulties in bacterial culture, isolation and identification.…”

“…To date, eight Leptotrichia species have been characterised, which include L. buccalis, L. goodfellowii, L. hofstadii, L. shahii, L. trevisanii, L. massiliensis, L. hongkongensis and L. wadei. However, many clinical Leptotrichia isolates have remained unclassified due to the lack of the whole-genome sequences and biochemical properties of these isolates (Eribe and Olsen, 2017). Currently, Leptotrichia genome data are very limited as there are only one complete whole genome sequences of species-identified strain and three unidentified strains available in the GenBank database (Gupta and Sethi, 2014;Ivanova et al, 2009).…”
