Prevalence of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans in Sudanese patients with aggressive periodontitis: a case-control study

Abstract

The JP2 clone of A. actinomycetemcomitans was not detected in the subgingival plaque of high school subjects in Sudan. The detection of non-JP2 types of A. actinomycetemcomitans may be a useful marker of increased risk for development of aggressive periodontitis in young subjects.
