Prevotella melaninogenica ATCC 25845

Taxonomy
Names	Prevotella melaninogenica ATCC 25845
Accession numbers	NC_014370, NC_014371
Background	Prevotella melaninogenica is an anaerobic, black-pigmenting, rod-shaped bacterium that inhabits the human oral cavity that is implicated in periodontal disease. The bacterium has many virulence factors including neuraminidase, collagenase, specific immunoglobulin G and IgA proteases, phospholipase A, and hemolysin. It has been sequenced as part of the Human Microbiome Project (HMP), initiated to probe the richness of the microbial communities living in and on the human body in an effort to help us understand their role in human health and disease.
