Paleogenomic insights into the red complex bacteria Tannerella forsythia in Pre-Hispanic and Colonial individuals from Mexico
author keywords: paleogenomics; Tannerella forsythia; ancient pathogens; periodontal disease; red complex; capture-enrichment
MeSH headings : Archaeology; Genome, Bacterial; Genomics; Gram-Negative Bacterial Infections / history; Gram-Negative Bacterial Infections / microbiology; History, 15th Century; History, 16th Century; History, 17th Century; History, 18th Century; History, Ancient; History, Medieval; Humans; Mexico; Periodontitis / history; Periodontitis / microbiology; Tannerella forsythia / genetics
TL;DR:
This study recovered twelve partial ancient T. forsythia genomes and observed a distinct phylogenetic placement of samples, suggesting that the strains present in Pre-Hispanic individuals likely arrived with the first human migrations to the Americas and that new strains were introduced with the arrival of European and African populations in the sixteenth century.
