Abstract: ABSTRACT Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is associated with aggressive forms of periodontitis, and with systemic infections such as endocarditis. The cagE gene encodes a ≈39-kDa putative exotoxin expressed by A. actinomycetemcomitans. The prevalence of cagE, and its… read more here.
