P gingivalis

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

P. gingivalis is a laboratory strain of bacteria commonly used in research. It is a Gram-negative, anaerobic bacterium that is known to be associated with periodontal disease. The strain is used in scientific investigations, but a detailed description of its core function is not available while maintaining an unbiased and factual approach.

Cultivation and Inactivation of P. gingivalis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
P. gingivalis, strain 33277, was purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA). Cultivation of P. gingivalis was performed under strict anaerobic conditions (85% N2, 5% H2 and 10% CO2) at 37 °C in the Brain-Heart-Infusion (BHI) broth supplemented with menadione (1 μg/mL) and hemin (5 µg/mL), both purchased from Sigma–Aldrich. After harvest, P. gingivalis colonies were rinsed twice with PBS and resuspended in 1mL of PBS. The concentration of P. gingivalis was determined with a spectrophotometer at 600 nm by McFarland turbidity standard No. 0.5, where 0.1 OD refers to 1 × 108 colony-forming units per mL (CFU/mL). To ensure the loss of viability of P. gingivalis prior to GMSCs treatment, P. gingivalis was being heat-inactivated by incubation at 70 °C for 30 min in addition to atmospheric oxygen exposure.

Bacterial strains and plasmids used in this study are shown in Table 1. A. actinomycetemcomitans (ATCC 43718), F. nucleatum subsp. nucleatum (ATCC 25586), P. gingivalis (ATCC 33277), T. forsythia (ATCC 43037), and T. denticola (ATCC 33521) were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA). Bacterial cultures were grown under anaerobic growth conditions at 37 °C using an anaerobic growth chamber AS‐580 (Anaerobe Systems, Morgan Hill, CA, USA) supplied with anaerobic gas (90% N2, 5% H2, and 5% CO2). F. nucleatum and P. gingivalis were cultured in brain heart infusion, T. forsythia was cultured using brain heart infusion supplemented with 2.5 mM N‐acetylmuramic acid (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA). A. actinomycetemcomitans and T. denticola were cultured in MTGE‐anaerobic enrichment broth (Anaerobe Systems).

Cultivation of Oral Bacterial Biofilms

The use of all bacterial species was approved by University of Maryland Baltimore Institutional Review Board. All four species were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA): S. gordonii ATCC10558; A. naeslundii ATCC12104; P. gingivalis ATCC33277; F. nucleatum ATCC25586.
S. gordonii were grown in brain-heart infusion broth (BHI, Sigma-Aldrich) at 37 °C aerobically (95% air, 5% CO2), following ACTT’s instructions. A. naeslundii, P. gingivalis and F. nucleatum were grown in tryptic soy broth (TSB, Sigma-Aldrich) supplemented with yeast extract (5 g/L), L-cysteine hydrochloride (0.5 g/L), hemin (5 mg/L) and menadione (1 mg/L) at 37°C anaerobically (90% N2, 5% CO2, 5% H2), following previous studies.11 (link),49 (link) For each species, the inoculum was adjusted to 108 colony-forming unit counts CFU/mL for biofilm formation, based on the standard curve of OD600nm vs. CFU/mL for each species.49 (link)

Culturing Oral Cavity Bacteria

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The major bacteria used in this experiment are the bacteria associated with oral malodor, P. gingivalis ATCC 33277 and T. denticola ATCC 35405, which were purchased from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). P. gingivalis was cultured in brain heart infusion (BHI) liquid media, which included hemin (0.05 μg/mL; Sigma, St Louis, MO) and Vitamin K (1 μg/mL; Sigma). T. denticola was cultured in tryptone‐yeast extract‐gelatin‐volatile fatty acids‐serum (TYGVS) media in a 37°C anaerobic state (5% H2, 10% CO2, 85% N2) (Ohta, Makinen, & Loesche, 1986). S. salivarius K12 and M18 (Thera Breth; The California Clinics, Los Angeles, CA) were used as probiotics and cultured in BHI media at 37°C. For the coculture of oral cavity bacteria, P. gingivalis was cultured in BHI media containing hemin and Vitamin K. T. denticola was cultured in a mixed media consisting of TYGVS liquid media and BHI liquid media in a one‐to‐one ratio at 37°C in an anaerobic condition.

hPDLCs were treated with 1 μg/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS) produced from P. gingivalis (Sigma, USA) for 24 h [23 (link)] with or without SB (50 μM, 24 h) preincubation. After treatment, qPCR was used to investigate certain gene expression. The sequences of specific primers are listed in Table 2.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
