Treponema denticolais an oral spirochete associated with the periodontal diseases. A great deal of the molecular components ofT. denticolawill be learned soon since its genome sequence project is on the way. One of the most important works after genome sequence is to analyze the function of these genes and their regulation. However, like many other oral pathogens, there are currently a very limited number of molecular and genetic tools available to study gene expression inT. denticola. In this article, we describe a method of adapting differential display polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) for use in theT. denticolasystem. To test for effectiveness of this protocol, we used three different temperature conditions, 4°C, 25°C and 42°C, to test for differential gene expression. With various ddPCR conditions, we found a number of genes that were expressed differentially. Some of these differentially expressed genes were cloned and sequenced and found to be homologous with the known temperature‐regulated genes, including HtrA. The study indicates that the ddPCR method can be effectively used inT. denticolafor analyzing gene expression under various conditions.
