Filifactor alocis is a newly appreciated pathogen in periodontal diseases. Neutrophils are the predominant innate immune cell in the gingival crevice. In this study we examined modulation of human neutrophil antimicrobial functions by F. alocis . Both non-opsonized and serum opsonized F. alocis ...
Filifactor alocis, a previously unrecognized Gram-positive anaerobic rod, is now considered a new emerging pathogen that may play a significant role in periodontal disease. F. alocis' unique characteristics and variations at the molecular level that may be responsible for the functional changes requir...
FILIFACTOR ALOCIS HAS VIRULENCE ATTRIBUTES THAT CAN MEDIATE INVASION OF EPITHELIAL CELLS BY PORPHYROMONAS GINGIVALIS Journal of PeriodontologyWong, Benedicta
One of the organisms previously unrecognized is Filifactor alocis . While this Gram-positive anaerobic rod has been identified in peri-implantitis, in endodontic infections, and in patients with localized aggressive periodontitis, its presence is now observed at significantly higher levels in patients ...
Filifactor alocisPCRContribution of organisms causing periodontal disease remains unclear. Strong association has emerged between the presence of gram-positiveFilifactor alocis (F.alocis)and periodontitis. Hence, we aimed to identify the presence ofF.alocisin periodontal biofilms through PCR technique in ...
Role of Superoxide Reductase FA796 in Oxidative Stress Resistance in Filifactor alocisBiotechnologyMicrobiology, 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 ...

Filifactor alocis is a gram positive anaerobe that is emerging as an important periodontal pathogen. In the oral cavity F. alocis colonizes polymicrobial biofilm communities; however, little is known regarding the nature of the interactions between F. alocis and other oral biofilm bacteria. Here ...
