Cytolethal distending toxin of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans. Occurrence and association with periodontal disease.

Journal of periodontal research - 1 Aug 2002

Tan Kai Soo, Song Keang-Peng, Ong Grace

Abstract excerpt

The cytolethal distending toxin (Cdt) of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, a periodontal pathogen, is a newly described cytotoxin with immunosuppressive properties, capable of causing cell cycle arrest of lymphocytes. The objectives of this study were to investigate the occurrence of A. actinomycetemcomitans with the cdt genotype in the subgingival plaque of periodontitis patients and to determine the...
