Treponema ⇒ Treponema socranskii {10000874} Record Keys Parent:Treponema Definition:Treponema socranskii Details Initialisation date:[ ] Meta Information Rank: Species Domain: Bacteria Zone:[ ] Enzyme:[ ] Function:[ ] Notes: [ ]Shared Reference Notes [1.1] - The spirochete T. socranskii is known to interact directly with target cells using their endotoxins and degradation products to invade tissues. - This is one of the most abundant spirochetes, found in sites with severe periodontal destruction and associated with #Periodontal disease. - This species was found in the trigeminal ganglions of patients with #Alzheimer’s disease, indicating that T. socranskii may have access to neuronal axons. [1.2] [#Alzheimer’s disease] [#Atopobium rimae, #Bacteroides-Prevotella group, #Prevotella nigrescens, #Prevotella oulorum, #prevotella salivae] - subgingival samples of the AD group showed significant increases in the abundance of bacterial species potentially linked with periodontitis, such as A. rimae, #Saccharibacteria (#TM7) HMT 348, #Selenomonas sp. HMT 442, T. socranskii and various #Prevotella spp., such as P. maculosa, P. multiformis, P. nigrescens, P. oulorum and P. salivae, which could aggravate systemic diseases.References Notes[ ]
