Invasive Infections of Aggregatibacter (Actinobacillus) Actinomycetemcomitans
Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2010 Aggregatibacter (Actinobacillus) actinomycetemcomitans, part of the normal flora of the mouth, is frequently found in human periodontal cultures and is an important pathogen causing various invasive infections, particularly infective endocarditis. In this study, we describe the clinical course and outcome of patients with A.

Aggregatibacter Actinomycetemcomitans – A Tooth Killer? [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2014 Strong evidence is available on Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A.a) on its role as the causative agent of localised juvenile periodontitis (LJP), a disease characterised by rapid destruction of the tooth-supporting tissues.

Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus Attacks Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans
Journal of Dental Research, 2009 Periodontitis is a polymicrobial infectious disease primarily associated with Gram-negative periodontopathogens. Bdellovibrio and like organisms are predatory bacteria that feed on Gram-negative bacteria. This study investigated whether predatory bacteria can attack Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. Therefore, A.

A markerless protocol for genetic analysis of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans
Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2014 The genomes of different Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A actinomycetemcomitans) strains contain many strain-specific genes and genomic islands (defined as DNA found in some but not all strains) of unknown functions.
