Carious Dentine Provides a Habitat for a Complex Array of Novel <i>Prevotella</i> -Like Bacteria
1 Nov 2004
Abstract excerpt
Previous analysis of the microbiology of advanced caries by culture and real-time PCR emphasized the high incidence and abundance of gram-negative anaerobic species, particularly Prevotella-like bacteria. The diversity of Prevotella-like bacteria was further explored by analyzing pooled bacterial DNA from lesions of carious dentine. This was achieved by amplification of a region of the 16S ribosomal DNA with a...
