Genomic Stability of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans during Persistent Oral Infection in Human.

The genome of periodontal pathogen Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans exhibits substantial variations in gene content among unrelated strains primarily due to the presence or absence of genomic islands. This study examined the genomic stability of A. actinomycetemcomitans during its persistent in...
