Occurrence of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans in Brazilians with chronic periodontitis.
Studies have suggested that A. actinomycetemcomitans is involved in the aetiology of aggressive periodontitis as well as in chronic periodontitis. This study was aimed at elucidating the occurrence of A. actinomycetemcomitans in a Brazilian population with chronic periodontitis. A total of 555 (mean age 33.04 +/- 12.45) individuals, living in two large areas of the São Paulo State, namely "Baix...

متن کاملThe role of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and its leukotoxin in periodontitis
Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is a Gram-negative periodontitis-associated bacterium that expresses a toxin that selectively affects leukocytes. Leukotoxin is encoded by an operon belonging to the core genome of this bacterial species. Variations in the expression of the leukotoxin have been reported, and a specific clonal type (JP2) of this bacterium with enhanced leukotoxin expression ...
متن کاملTransmission of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans between Brazilian women with severe chronic periodontitis and their children.
This study evaluated the transmission of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) in women with severe chronic periodontitis and their children. Thirty women (mean age = 36.1+/-6.0 years) who were mothers of at least one child aged 7 to 16 years were enrolled. In order to investigate mother-child transmission of Aa, the children were also evaluated when their mothers were colonized by the bac...
