Microbial diagnostics in periodontal diseases
Abstract Microbial analytical methods have been instrumental in elucidating the complex microbial etiology of periodontal diseases, by shaping our understanding of subgingival community dynamics. Certain pathobionts can orchestrate the establishment of dysbiotic communities that can subvert the host immune system, triggering inflammation and tissue ...

Detection of Cytolethal Distending Toxin Activity and cdt Genes in Actinobacillus Actinomycetemcomitans Isolates From Geographically Diverse Populations [PDF]
A cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) found in Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans inhibits the eukaryotic cell cycle, which may contribute to the pathogenic potential of the bacterium. The presence of the cdtABC genes and CDT activity were examined in 40
