Abstract excerpt

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcomitans) is an important causative agent of periodontitis acting by employment of a series of virulence factors. Our aim was to evaluate the virulence traits and plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance of A. actinomycetemcomitans isolates in Iraq. A total of 1580 samples were collected from dental caries (n = 1190) and periodontitis (n = 390) among which 200...
