Beta-hexosaminidase activity of the oral pathogen Tannerella forsythia influences biofilm formation on glycoprotein substrates

Tannerella forsythia is an important pathogen in periodontal disease. Previously, we showed that sialidase activity is key to its utilisation of sialic acid from a range of human glycoproteins for biofilm growth and initial adhesion. Removal of terminal sialic acid residues often exposes β-linked gl...
