Aggregatibacter Actinomycetemcomitans – A Tooth Killer? [PDF]
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.

A markerless protocol for genetic analysis of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans
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.

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans- A periodontopathogen
is a gram-negative oral pathobiont that is associated with severe form of periodontitis. This bacterium has various virulence factors which enables the bacterium to colonize the oral cavity, invade and evade the host defences. Leukotoxin and cytolethal distending toxin are the important virulence factors that causes periodontal destruction ...
