ABSTRACT:
The invention features primers capable of distinguishing between highly toxic and minimally toxic strains of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, methods of detecting the presence of highly toxic and minimally toxic strains of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans in samples obtained from a patient and kits for detection of the presence of highly toxic and minimally toxic strains of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans in samples obtained from a patient.
