   Abstract : ABSTRACT  Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa), is a gram-negative, facultative anaerobe, non-motile coccobacilli colonizing the human oral cavity and is strongly associated with localized aggressive periodontitis (LAP). Aa possesses several virulence mechanisms, among others; Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), an endotoxin found in the outer membrane of Aa and Leukotoxin (LtxA), an exotoxin attached to the bacterial cell surface or in outer membrane vesicles and which has been correlating with periodontal disease mostly.

   Abstract : The Gram-negative bacterium Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is primarily associatedwith aggressive forms of periodontal disease. Additionally, it has occasionally been found to causemetastatic infections in non-oral sites. This requires the ability to evade the bactericidal activity ofthe complement system of the humoral immune system. READ MORE

5. 14. Microbial Composition in Peri-implant Health and Disease
