Microbiological diversity of generalized aggressive periodontitis by <i>16S rRNA</i> clonal analysis
12 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIM: The purpose of this study was to determine the bacterial diversity in the subgingival plaque of subjects with generalized aggressive periodontitis by using culture-independent molecular methods based on 16S ribosomal DNA cloning. METHODS: Samples from 10 subjects with generalized aggressive periodontitis were selected. DNA was extracted and the 16S rRNA gene was amplified with the universal primer...
