Abstract excerpt
F. nucleatum is the most commonly isolated microorganism from subgingival plaque, but the role of this microorganism in periodontal diseases remains undefined. Arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR) was evaluated as a method for fingerprinting F. nucleatum isolates and for use in clonal analysis. Pulsed field gel electrophoresis was used to further differentiate F. nucleatum isolates, with...
