Abstract
Utilizing PCR, the 16S rRNA detection rates for Porphyromonas gingivalis , Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans , Bacteroides forsythus , Treponema denticola , and Campylobacter rectus in samples of stenotic coronary artery plaques were determined to be 21.6, 23.3, 5.9, 23.5, and 15.7%, respectively. The detection rates for P. gingivalis and C. rectus correlated with their presence in subgingival plaque.Keywords
