Abstract excerpt
The genetic diversity of 205 Eikenella corrodens isolates recovered from dental plaque, mucosal surfaces, and saliva of 24 subjects was examined by arbitrarily primed PCR. Twenty-two subjects were colonized by multiple clones (range, two to eight; mean, 3.7). This study demonstrates the utility o...
