The unique hmuY gene sequence as a specific marker of Porphyromonas gingivalis.

The unique hmuY gene sequence as a specific marker of Porphyromonas gingivalis.

Porphyromonas gingivalis, a major etiological agent of chronic periodontitis, acquires heme from host hemoproteins using the HmuY hemophore. The aim of this study was to develop a specific P. gingivalis marker based on a hmuY gene sequence. Subgingival samples were collected from 66 patients with ch...
