Tannerella forsythia is an anaerobic, Gram-negative bacterial species of the Bacteroidota phylum. It has been implicated in periodontal diseases and is a member of the red complex of periodontal pathogens.[1][2] T. forsythia was previously named Bacteroides forsythus and Tannerella forsythensis.[3][4][5][6]
Tannerella forsythia was discovered by and named after Anne Tanner, who works at The Forsyth Institute located in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[7]
T. forsythia has been identified in atherosclerotic lesions. Lee et al. found that infecting mice with T. forsythia induced foam cell formation and accelerated the formation of atherosclerotic lesions.[8] It has also been isolated from women with bacterial vaginosis.[9] The presence of oral T. forsythia has been found to be associated with an increased risk of esophageal cancer.[10]
