History Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans was first reported in a publication by Klinger in 1912 who termed it as Bacterium actinomycetemcomitans which was changed to Bacterium comitans by Lieske, and finally to Actinobacilius actinomycetemcomitans by Topley and Wilson. We found that Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans Y4 infection induced DSB formation in host cells. Ever since 1976 when it was discovered that Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (ne Actinobacillus) was associated with Aggressive Periodontitis in adolescents there have been many attempts to understand its relationship to disease (1, 2). The absence of related microorganisms rendered it di cult A. actinomycetemcomitans has been found in various extra oral infections and most frequently in endocarditis.

A. actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) was first reported by Klinger in 1912 where he described a previously unknown Gram-negative microorganism that was found in actinomycotic lesions associated with Actinomyces, hence the latin word “comitans” in co… Objective: To investigate the serotype distribution of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A. ABSTRACT Cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) is a bacterial toxin that induces G2/M cell cycle arrest, cell distension, and/or apoptosis in mammalian cells. xڽYI��6��W�(�`lH�Ǟ��'���$Zb�Eå�=�~ It stays in the periodontal pocket of the oral cavity and damages tooth supporting tissues. Although rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, scientists have long suspected that bacterial infections (and in particular, periodontal infections) may play a role in its pathogenesis. Since the toxin a ects leukocytes of di erent types, it is called a leukotoxin [6,7]. A 70-year-old man with aortic valve replace-ment presented with a 4-month history of lower back pain and was diagnosed with spondylitis.

The aim of this investigation was to study the protein differential expression of Aa when growing on biofilm compared with planktonic state using proteomic analysis by the 2D-DIGE system. The catalytic subunit CdtB has homology with DNase I and may act as a genotoxin. Aggregatibacter (Actinobacillus) actinomycetemcomitans 2.2.1. 18 Data concerning this linkage are mainly based on association studies, while causality is difficult … Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is the etiological agent of periodontitis, and there is a strong association between clone JP2 and aggressive periodontitis in adolescents of African descent. Sorry, preview is currently unavailable. Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is a gram-negative bacterium th at is present in the oral cavity of a large proportion of the human popu lation (Zambon et al., 1983; Henderson et al., 2010) The bacterium is acquired through transmission from infected individuals and thought to initially colonize oral mucosa as a facultative intracellular pathogen (Fine et al., 2006). Although much research has focused on classical oral pathogens, much less information is available to determine the relationship between Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Fusobacterium nucleatum among these patients. %���� Clasificación En la novena edición del Bergey’s Manual of Determinative Bacteriology [2], A. actinomycetemcomitans se consideraba un miembro del género Actinobacillus perteneciente a la família … ��a��D���O�=�q��@����
