Porphyromonas
Porphyromonas is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, obligately anaerobic and non-motile genus from the family Porphyromonadaceae.[3][1][2][4] There were 16 different Porphyromonas species documented as of 2015, which reside in both animal and human reservoirs. [5] It was discovered more recently that Porphyromonas also exist in the environment, albeit to a lesser extent.[6] This genus is notably implicated in the modulation of oral cavity, respiratory tract, and gastrointestinal tract disease states.[5] It is suggested that Porphyromonas either operate as benign bacteria pertinent to host immunity or are potential pathobionts that opportunistically provoke diseased states when homeostasis is disrupted.[6] Despite its characterization not being fully elucidated due to sparse research, various studies report the prevalence of this genus at 58.7% in healthy states compared with 41.3% in diseased states.[6]

This genus was first reported in the oral cavity[5] and is found specifically in the salivary microbiome.[7] Porphyromonas are also commonly found in the microbiome of the human digestive tract, as shown by the Human Microbiome Project in general.[8][9][10]
Distribution of Species
While overlap exists between humans and animals in the distribution of Porphyromonas species, some species are more prevalent in each.[5]
Humans
P. asaccharolytica, P. endodontalis, P. gingivalis, P. catoniae, P. pasteri, P. somerae, and P. uenonis[5]
Animals
P. cangingivalis, P. canoris, P. cansulsi, P. circumdentaria, P. crevioricanis, P. gingivicanis, P. salivosa, P. macacae, P. gulae, and P. levii[5] Porphyromonas genus is commonly found in healthy stallion semen <(https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anireprosci.2020.106568)>
Environment
Porphyromonas have been isolated from manmade and naturally occurring environments. Most of these species have been detected in manmade environments, including transportation systems, healthcare settings, and indoor facilities; Porphyromonas persist in naturally occurring environments such as air, soil, seawater, freshwater, agricultural sites, and alpine meadows to a lesser extent. Furthermore, waste-management sites are a pertinent source of environment-dwelling species.[6] Specific environmentally hosted strains have not been widely studied or identified.
Health Impacts
Oral Cavity
- P. ginvigalis: a gram-negative anaerobe and pathological agent of periodontitis.[11]
Gastrointestinal Tract
- Overabundance of this genus has been reported from the feces of patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer.[12]
Respiratory Tract
- Porphyromonas increase has been associated with pulmonary tuberculosis lesions.[13]
Other
Alterations in Porphyromonas abundance have also been associated with various cancers, autoimmune and neurodegenerative conditions,[6] vaginal diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjogren's syndrome.[5]
Detection Methods
Porphyromonas is most commonly detected via utilization of 16s rRNA sequencing techniques.[15][16]
