Porphyromonas catoniae is a Gram-negative and anaerobic bacterium from the genus Porphyromonas which has been isolated from the human gingival crevice, originating from oral mucosal surfaces fused to saliva. [1] [3] [5] [4] [6]
It is a bacterial genus that belongs to the respiratory core microbiome and is important in the pulmonary niche. [7] In recent research, it was found that Porphyromonas catoniae plays a potential role in the lung microbiome of patients with Cystic Fibrosis. [7] Genomes of the commensal species Porphyromonas isolated from Cystic Fibrosis patients did not harbour the virulence genes that are typically associated with Porphyromonas Ginigivalis. [7] [8]
