Comparative analysis of virulence determinants and mass spectral profiles of Finnish and Lithuanian endodontic <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> isolates
19 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Putative virulence factors of Enterococcus faecalis have been proposed by several workers and, by analogy, these have been linked to strains of endodontic origin. However, their distribution within the cell population is unknown. In the present study, isolates were taken from the dental root canals of two defined human populations, Lithuanian and Finnish, and examined for a range of virulence...
