Abstract excerpt
Porphyromonas gingivalis is an important periodontal pathogen that can be isolated from both active and inactive periodontal lesions. Apparently, differences in virulence between P. gingivalis strains exist, but the mechanisms underlying these differences are not yet fully understood. To obtain more information about pathogenicity and virulence of P. gingivalis, it is relevant to assess the genetic population...
