Abstract excerpt

Genetic analysis of Porphyromonas gingivalis strains may distinguish between virulent and nonvirulent strains and also may be used to trace individual strains in epidemiological studies. The present study examined the utility of the arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction for genotypic finge...
