the plant salvadora persica is used for oral hygiene in many parts of the world. it has been suggested that it has antibacterial properties, in addition to its ability to mechanically remove plaques. the aim of this study was to assess the antimicrobial activity of the herbal product persica containing salvadora persica against periodontopathogens porphyromonas gingivalis and aggregatibacter ac...

OBJECTIVE Several studies have focused on the relationship among serotype distribution, ethnical status and geographic populations, and periodontal conditions. Studies that have investigated the prevalence and the distribution of A. actinomycetemcomitans serotypes and the relation between the different serotypes of the bacterium and periodontal status were reviewed. MATERIAL AND METHODS A sys...

Periodontal disease is an inflammatory disorder that triggered by bacterial plaque and causes the destruction of tooth-supporting tissues leading to tooth loss. Several bacteria species, including Porphyromonas gingivalis Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, are considered be associated with severe periodontal conditions. In this study, we demonstrated a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) immu...

Periodontitis adalah peradangan pada jaringan pendukung gigi yang disebabkan oleh kelompokmikroorganisme tertentu salah satunya bakteri Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, yangmenyebabkan kerusakan ligamen periodontal dan tulang alveolar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untukmembuktikan apakah ekstrak teh putih efektif menghambat pembentukan biofilm bakteriAggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans seca...

OBJECTIVES To test the antimicrobial sensitivity of two periodontal pathogens to a panel of five orally administrable antibiotics in periodontal disease. STUDY DESIGN A total of 69 isolates of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonas gingivalis were processed using culture and biochemical tests. Selected colonies of A. actinomycetemcomitans and P. gingivalis were used to evalua...

Introduction and aim. The association between periodontitis (PD) rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been analyzed described in literature. Periodontal pathogens, such as “Porphyromonas gingivalis” “Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans” are pointed the common factors for both diseases. In this work we demonstrate that treatment of dental oral diseases is an unconditional requirement patients with RA...

We developed a loop-mediated isothermal amplification method that detects the JP2 clone of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, which induces aggressive periodontitis in adolescents of North and West African descents. Being independent of special equipment, this specific and sensitive method offers significant advantages for screening of patients on a population basis and in clinical settings.

The aim of this study was to investigate subgingival bacterial composition of untreated Italian subjects with aggressive and chronic periodontitis. The total bacterial load, pathogenic bacteria belonging to "red" and "orange" complexes and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans were determined by Real-Time PCR in 1216 patients. Data were analysed by looking for relationships between bacteriologi...

The expression of the leukotoxin of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is regulated by the leukotoxin promoter. A 530-bp deletion or an 886-bp insertion sequence (IS) element in this region has earlier been described in highly leukotoxic isolates. Here, we report on highly leukotoxic isolate with a 640-bp deletion, which was detected in an adolescent of Ethiopian origin.
