Abstract excerpt
Eikenella corrodens is a gram-negative facultative bacillus commonly found in the oral cavity. Although the role of E. corrodens in periodonititis is not clear, its isolation from extraoral infections attests to its pathogenic potential. Previous studies suggested that this species is phenotypically diverse. In the present study, we used restriction endonuclease analysis (REA) to assess the genetic diversity of...
