Abstract excerpt
A panel of five DNA probes has been developed for use in genetic epidemiologic analysis of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, a bacterium associated with periodontal disease. Restriction fragment length polymorphism profiles were assessed using random genomic probes as well as probes for genes encoding potential virulence factors. These genotypes were compared with serotype and other phenotypic markers....
