Species of bacterium
Tannerella forsythia is an
anaerobic ,
Gram-negative bacterial species of the
Bacteroidota phylum. It has been implicated in
periodontal diseases and is a member of the
red complex of
periodontal pathogens .
[1]
[2] T. forsythia was previously named Bacteroides forsythus and Tannerella forsythensis .
[3]
[4]
[5]
[6]
Tannerella forsythia was discovered by and named after Anne Tanner, who works at
The Forsyth Institute located in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
[7]
T. forsythia has been identified in atherosclerotic lesions. Lee et al. found that infecting mice with T. forsythia induced foam cell formation and accelerated the formation of atherosclerotic lesions.
[8] It has also been isolated from women with
bacterial vaginosis .
[9] The presence of oral T. forsythia has been found to be associated with an increased risk of esophageal cancer.
