Dysbiosis of the human oral microbiota is associated with several diseases, but the factors that shape the biogeography of the oral microbiota are mostly opaque. Biofilms that form in the human supragingival and subgingival regions have a diverse microbial community where some microbes form well-defined polymicrobial structures. C. gingivalis , a bacterium abundant in human gingival regions, has robust gliding motility that is powered by the type 9 secretion system.
