One of the most abundant bacteria in the subgingival pockets of patients with bleeding following mechanical periodontal therapy is Prevotella intermedia. However, despite its abundance, the molecular mechanisms of its contribution to periodontal disease are not well known. This is mainly due to the lack of genetic tools that would allow examination of the role of predicted virulence factors in the pathogenesis of this bacterium. Here, we report on the first mutant in the P. intermedia OMA14 strain. The mutation is an allelic exchange replacement of the sequences coding for a putative OxyR regulator with ermF sequences coding for the macrolide–lincosamide resistance in anaerobic bacteria. The mutant is severely impaired in its ability to grow with eukaryotic cells, indicating that it is an important target for interventional strategies. Further analyses reveal that its ability to grow with oxidative stress species, in the form of hydrogen peroxide and oxygen, is severely affected. Transcriptome analysis reveals that the major deregulated genes code for the alkylhydroperoxide reductase system, AhpCF, mediating protection from peroxide stress. Moreover, genes coding for Dps, CydA and Ftn are downregulated in the mutant strain, as further verified using qRT-PCR analysis. In conclusion, we succeeded in generating the first P. intermedia mutant and show that the OxyR-deficient strain is unable to survive with a variety of host cells as well as with oxidative stress.
