Although periodontal diseases result from overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria, the effect of a specific knockdown of anaerobes on the disease outcome has yet to be examined. We have reported that amixicile, a non-toxic, readily bioavailable, and novel antimicrobial, specifically targets selected oral anaerobes through inhibition of the activity of pyruvate ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PFOR), a major enzyme mediating oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate. Here, we generated an ex vivo microbiome derived from gingival pockets of human subjects with chronic periodontal disease and evaluated the efficacy of amixicile in generating a specific knockdown of anaerobic bacteria present in the microbiome. Our bioinformatics analysis identified PFOR-like coding capacity in over 100 genomes available from the HOMD database. Many of those bacteria were present in our ex vivo microbiome. Significantly, the anaerobic pathogens relying on PFOR for energy generation were specifically reduced in abundance following treatment with amixicile while non-PFOR bacteria were spared. Specifically, Prevotella, Veillonella, Slackia, Porphyromonas, Treponema, Megasphera, and Atobium were reduced in abundance. Such treatment resulted in the conversion of a microbiome resembling a microbiome derived from sites with periodontal disease to one resembling a microbiome present at healthy sites. We also compared the inhibitory spectrum of amixicile to that of metronidazole and showed that the antibiotics have a similar inhibitory spectrum. This work further demonstrates that amixicile has the potential to reverse and prevent the outgrowth of anaerobic pathogens observed in subjects with periodontal disease. Schematic representation of the mechanism of amixicile leading to inhibition of anaerobic bacteria. Pyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PFOR [KEGG: 1.2.7.1]) - containing bacteria are shown in red and aerotolerant bacteria, relying on pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH [KEGG: 1.2.4.1]), are shown in blue.
