Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Bacterial community in dental plaque of elder people was analyzed to learn about the microhabitat composition and diversity. METHODS: Dental plaque samples were collected from 25 elders. PCR-based denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) was used to evaluate the microbial diversity by displaying PCR-generated 16SrDNA fragments that migrate at different distances, reflecting the different...
