Comparative genome characterization of the periodontal pathogen Tannerella forsythia

Abstract Background Tannerella forsythia is a bacterial pathogen implicated in periodontal disease. Numerous virulence-associated T. forsythia genes have been described, however, it is necessary to expand the knowledge on T. forsythia’s genome structure and genetic repertoire to further elucidate it...
