Virulence Factors of Periodontal Pathogens

The application of molecular approaches to the identification of microorganisms indicated a substantially greater diversity of species in the periodontal environment than was previously recognized.Most common pathogenic microorganisms causing periodontitis are actinobacillus actinomy-cetemcomitans, porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, Bacteroid, forsthus178 .Pathogenic organism produces disease through a set of properties which are called as virulence factors.The application of molecular approaches to the identification of microorganisms indicated a substantially greater diversity of species in the periodontal environment than was previously recognized.Most common pathogenic microorganisms causing periodontitis are actinobacillus actinomy-cetemcomitans, porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, Bacteroid, forsthus178 .Pathogenic organism produces disease through a set of properties which are called as virulence factors.
