Enrichment of subgingival microflora on human serum leading to accumulation of Bacteroides species, Peptostreptococci and Fusobacteria.

This study was undertaken to identify ecological factors that favour opportunistic pathogenic species in the subgingival microflora. In a first approach, human serum as a substitute for gingival exudate, was used for batch-wise enrichment of subgingival plaque. The microflora resulting after 5-6 enrichment steps consisted of black-pigmented and non-black-pigmented Bacteroides species, Peptostreptococcus micros and Fusobacterium nucleatum as the main organisms. It is noted that the same group of species was found to be enriched independent upon the origin of the subgingival plaque sample. It was suggested that these organisms are favoured by the increased flow of gingival exudate during inflammation. The consortium of organisms was capable of selective degradation of serum (glyco-)proteins. Four different types of degradation occurred. After a prolonged period of growth complete degradation of immunoglobulins, haptoglobin, transferrin and complement C3c was observed. Partial degradation of immunoglobulins, haptoglobin, transferrin, albumin, alpha 1-antitrypsin and complement C3c and C4 was generally observed after 48 h of growth. Besides, immunoglobulin protease activity yielding Fc and Fab fragments was found. The consortium was also capable of consuming carbohydrate side-chains as indicated by an altered electrophoretic mobility of the serum glycoproteins.

Intraamniotic infection with fusobacteria.

A literature search produced ten studies in which Fusobacterium was cultured from amniotic fluid in women with preterm labor and intact membranes or with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PROM). Fusobacterium was isolated in 9.9% (9/91) of positive amniotic fluid cultures in women with preterm PROM and in 28.3% (17/60) of positive amniotic fluid cultures in women presenting with preterm labor and intact membranes. Fusobacterium plays a previously unrecognized role in the pathogenesis of premature labor and delivery. Amniotic fluid culture for anaerobes, specifically Fusobacterium, is suggested for all women who present with premature labor and intact membranes and do not respond to tocolytic drugs.
