Genotypic characterization of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans isolated from periodontitis patients by arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction.

Abstract excerpt

Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is one of the most suspected pathogens in the initiation and progression of juvenile periodontitis and severe adult periodontitis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the genotypic characterization of A. actinomycetemcomitans using arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR). AP-PCR was applied to 143 A. actinomycetemcomitans strains, including 8...
