Abstract
- For more accurate PCR-based identification of P orphyromonas gingivalis harboring genotype II fimA, the most prevalent type in periodontitis patients, a new primer set was developed and evaluated. The previous type II primers hybridized to the DNA of P . gingivalis strains harboring type Ib as well as type II fimA, while the new primers specifically amplified only the DNA fragment of type II fimA. In the investigation using mixed bacterial culture and 155 clinical samples from peri-implantitis patients, the new primers increased the accuracy of PCR-based detection of type II fimA by excluding false-negatives as well as false-positives.
