Abstract excerpt
A total of 991 isolates of Actinomyces naeslundii were obtained from sound approximal tooth sites in either caries-active (n = 35) or caries-free (n = 20) preschool children. From this group of isolates, 101 strains were chosen to study the genotypic diversity of A. naeslundii genospecies 1 (n = 30), catalase-positive (n = 30), and catalase-negative genospecies 2 (n = 41). Polymerase chain reaction-restriction...
