Abstract:
200 subgingival specimens collected from 100 healthy periodontal adults of Thanhliet, Thanhtri, Hanoi, from 100 periodontitis adults of Odonto-stomatology Departments of Dongda and Thanhnhan Hospital were cultured and isolated for Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans and Capnocytophaga gingivitis. The prevalence of Aa and Cg in the periodontitis group is clearly different from that in the healthy periodontal one. The higher rate of Cg compared with the rate of Aa is found in female with periodontitis. Both Aa and Cg are sensitive to ampicillin, tetracycline, and chloramphenicole. Their sensitivity to erythromycin and sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprime changes. Cg is resistant to amikacin. TSBV medium used for culturing and isolating Aa has improved to be suitable to Laboratories in Vietnam.
