Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to determine sequence variations in the active centre of the Arg-X-specific protease encoding genes rgpA and rgpB of clinical Porphyromonas gingivalis isolates and to analyse their prevalence in periodontitis patients before and 3 months after mechanical periodontal therapy. BACKGROUND: Genetic diversity at nucleotides 281, 283, 286 and 331 has been shown to result in...
