ABSTRACT Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is a major etiological agent of periodontitis. Here we report the complete genome sequence of serotype c strain D11S-1, which was recovered from the subgingival plaque of a patient diagnosed with generalized aggressive periodontitis.

Abstract Background Initial periodontal therapy (IPT) is cornerstone of periodontal therapy and the first step to control of periodontal risk factors. Scaling and root planing are used to treat root surface irregularities and remove virulent factors caused by periodontal pathogens. This procedure also incorporated into periodontal surgery. To elucidate the effects of IPT on prevalence of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA and Porphyromonas gingivalis, we used subgingival plaque samples from chronic periodontitis (CP) patients. Methods Seventeen CP patients were recruited and measured periodontal clinical parameters such as probing pocket depth (PD) and bleeding on probing (BOP), and subgingival plaque samples were collected from two periodontal sites with PD of <3 mm (healthy sites: HS) or >5 mm (periodontitis sites: PS) at first visit and after IPT. Plaque samples were subjected to a real-time PCR to detect EBV DNA and P. gingivalis. Results EBV DNA and P. gingivalis were detected 9 (52.9%) and 14 (82.3%) in the subgingival samples from HS, and 13 (76.5%) and 14 (82.3%) in the PS at first visit. After IPT, number of detections of EBV DNA and P. gingivalis were decreased to 5 (29.4%) and 13 (76.5%) in the HS, and 9 (52.9%) and 10 (58.8%) in the PS. Significant improvements in PD and BOP were observed after IPT in PS. Coexistence of EBV DNA and P. gingivalis in the subgingival samples from PS at first visit (12; 70.6%) were significantly decreased after IPT (6; 35.3%). Conclusion These results suggest that the IPT was effective in improvement of clinical parameters such as PD and BOP and reducing the coexistence of EBV and P. gingivalis in the subgingival plaque from PS. However, IPT could not eradicate the EBV and P. gingivalis. Further research would be necessary for improving the periodontal treatment strategy.

Background/Aim. Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of periodontal tissues with consequential is bone loss as a result of host immunological reactions caused by periopathogens. The aim of the study was to investigate if there is a correlation between clinical parameters and the presence of two most aggressive periopathogens (Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans - Aa and Porphyromonas gingivalis - Pg) in patients with progressive periodontal lesions. Methods. A total of 34 systemic healthy people, 23 to 70 years old, were included in the study. The patients were clinically and radiologically examined, and after that, the representative pocket with greatest pocket depth was chosen and the sample was collected from that place. The measured clinic parameters were: gingival index, index of gingival bleeding, pocket depth and plaque indices. The multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method was used for detection of periopathogens. After obtaining results, appropriate statistical tests were used to correlate the clinical and microbiological results. Results. Aa and Pg were detected in the same percentage of samples. Aa and Pg were detected in 35.29% samples alone, and in 29.41% both were detected. The values of measured clinical parameters did not show a statistical significance between the groups. In analysis of correlations among clinical parameters inside the groups, a statistical significance was found only between gingival and plaque index in the group with Aa. Conclusion. Clinical course of periodontitis in the developed stage does not differ in relation to the presence of different periopathogens as the major inductors of immunologically guided destructive processes.

Aggressive periodontitis(AgP) is a disease characterized by the presence of periodontal pathogens and family aggregation of cases, possibly related to the vertical transmission of microorganisms. Thus, the project has evaluated the pattern of colonization of some pathogens in children of parents affected by generalized aggressive periodontitis, compared to children of periodontally healthy parents. Five edentulous babies and 15 primary, mixed and permanent dentate children from families with parents affected by AgP were selected and, by a age and gender-matched approach, similar population from eriodontally heath individuals were also selected. From all subjects, saliva was collected, had a DNA extracted and sequenced for Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa), Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), Treponema denticola (Td), Tannerella forsythia (Tf) identification. Results showed a higher prevalence in AgP-family children regarding Td and Tf. denticola in mixed and permanent dentition (p<0.05). In conclusion,the presence of disease in parentes negatively affectthe oral microbiota of their descendants.
