The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The subgingival microbiome in health and periodontitis and its relationship with community biomass and inflammation (2013, background): “In this study, we confirmed previous reports finding higher total bacterial load and richness in periodontitis (Socransky et al., 1991; Griffen et al., 2011).”
Periodontitis: A Multifaceted Disease of Tooth-Supporting Tissues (2019, background): “denticola but also Filifactor alocis, a gram-positive anaerobe, formed the top three species [20].”
Beyond the red complex and into more complexity: the polymicrobial synergy and dysbiosis (PSD) model of periodontal disease etiology (2012, neutral): “…species include the gram-positive Filifactor alocis and Peptostreptococcus stomatis and other species from the genera Prevotella, Megasphaera, Selenomonas, Desulfobulbus, Dialister and Synergistetes (Paster et al., 2001; Kumar et al., 2003, 2005; Dewhirst et al., 2010; Griffen et al., 2011, 2012).”
