Porphyromonas gingivalis and Treponema denticola are strongly associated with chronic periodontitis. These bacteria have been co-localized in subgingival plaque and demonstrated to exhibit symbiosis in growth in vitro and synergistic virulence upon co-infection in animal models of disease. Here we show that during continuous co-culture a P.

- Leishmania spp. are protozoan parasites transmitted by sandflies, causing various diseases in humans.
- They exhibit unique enzymes in their central carbon metabolism that differ from those in mammals, making them potential targets for new drugs.
- Recent studies reveal that Leishmania can utilize multiple carbon sources throughout its life cycle, indicating adaptations for survival in both insect and mammalian hosts, with metabolomic techniques proving valuable in understanding these processes.
