DNA homologies shared among E. corrodens isolates and other corroding bacilli from the oral cavity.

Abstract excerpt

In a previous microbiological study of Eikenella corrodens, we noted the presence of E. corrodens strains with variability in colony morphology, as well as other corroding bacilli phenotypically similar to E. corrodens but which were unidentifiable on the basis of biochemical reactions. This raised questions as to whether E. corrodens constitutes a genetically heterogeneous group of organisms, and whether the...
