  • Title: Improved PCR for detection of the highly leukotoxic JP2 clone of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans in subgingival plaque samples.
    Author: Poulsen K, Ennibi OK, Haubek D.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2003 Oct; 41(10):4829-32. PubMed ID: 14532234.
    Abstract:
    The JP2 clone of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is associated with early-onset periodontitis in certain ethnic populations of African origin. Here, we describe and evaluate a set of primers for PCR to assay for the presence of A. actinomycetemcomitans and to discriminate between JP2-like strains and other genotypes in subgingival plaque samples.
