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.

DOI: 10.3390/pathogens11091037
Abstract: Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is a periodontal pathogen associated with periodontitis. This species exhibits substantial variations in gene content among different isolates and has different virulence potentials. This study examined the distribution of genomic islands and their… read more here.
