DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-65806-3
Abstract: Filifactor alocis, a Gram-positive anaerobic bacterium, is now a proposed diagnostic indicator of periodontal disease. Because the stress response of this bacterium to the oxidative environment of the periodontal pocket may impact its pathogenicity, an… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/omi.12163
Abstract: To successfully colonize host cells, pathogenic bacteria must circumvent the host's structural barrier such as the collagen-rich extracellular matrix (ECM), as a preliminary step to invasion and colonization of the periodontal tissue. Filifactor alocis possesses… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/omi.12272
Abstract: Filifactor alocis, a Gram-positive, obligate anaerobic rod, is an emerging periodontal pathogen that is frequently isolated from patients with periodontitis, peri-implantitis, and apical periodontitis. Recent studies have shown that extracellular vesicles (EVs) from Gram-negative periodontal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/omi.12398
Abstract: Abstract The survival/adaptation of Filifactor alocis, a fastidious Gram‐positive asaccharolytic anaerobe, to the inflammatory environment of the periodontal pocket requires an ability to overcome oxidative stress. Moreover, its pathogenic characteristics are highlighted by its capacity… read more here.
