Population genetic analysis of oral treponemes by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis.

Seventeen treponemes recently isolated from necrotic pulps, periodontal and periapical infections and 17 previously well characterized oral treponemal strains were analyzed by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis. Ten genetic loci were characterized on the basis of the electrophoretic mobilities of their enzymatic products. All loci were polymorphic. The average number of alleles per locus was 7.8. The genetic diversity among the electrophoretic types at each locus ranged from 0.624 to 0.836 with a mean genetic diversity per locus of 0.751. The 34 strains represented 34 electrophoretic types, constituting 6 main divisions (I-VI) separated at genetic distances greater than 0.75. Several of the previously characterized treponemes revealed multiple bands of enzyme activity at several loci, indicating that they were not pure. The characterized strains usually clustered within established species, whereas fresh clinical isolates overlapped species borders. There was a large genetic difference between some reference and clinical strains, indicating that the latter may contain undescribed species. Treponema socranskii and Treponema denticola strains clustered in distinct divisions (IV and V, respectively), with the exception of T. denticola strain FDC 51B2 and T. socranskii subsp. paredis strain VPI D46CPE1, both previously well described. This indicated that the taxonomic assignment of these 2 strains should be reconsidered.
