Abstract excerpt
During recent years much effort has been put into understanding the genetic composition of the oral populations of black-pigmented anaerobic bacteria. One of them, Porphyromonas gingivalis, is a putative periodontopathogenic organism considered to be particularly relevant in the etiology of adult periodontitis. It has been shown in studies using molecular typing methods that most bacterial populations consist of...
