Draft Whole-Genome Sequences of Periodontal Pathobionts Porphyromonas gingivalis , Prevotella intermedia , and Tannerella forsythia Contain Phase-Variable Restriction-Modification Systems

Periodontal disease comprises mild to severe inflammatory host responses to oral bacteria that can cause destruction of the tooth-supporting tissue. We report genome sequences for 18 clinical isolates of , , and , Gram-negative obligate anaerobes that play a role in the periodontal disease process.
