Beyond the Specific Plaque Hypothesis: Are Highly Leukotoxic Strains of Actinobacillus Actinomycetemcomitans a Paradigm for Periodontal Pathogenesis?

1 Mar 2001

Abstract excerpt

Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is a facultative anaerobe implicated in a variety of periodontal diseases. Its presence is most closely associated with localized juvenile periodontitis (LIP), although the exact role of the organism in this and other periodontal diseases is not entirely clear. While A. actinomycetemcomitans produces several different putative virulence factors, the most widely studied is the...
