Novel Bacterial Phylotypes in Endodontic Infections

Abstract excerpt

Although molecular studies have revealed potential oral pathogens among the phyla Spirochaetes and Deferribacteres, their occurrence in endodontic infections has not been consistently investigated. In this study, we devised a nested PCR-DGGE approach to survey samples from infected root canals for the presence of members of these two phyla, and to examine their diversity. The primers used also amplified DNA from...
