Summary

Many new species have been isolated from subgingival periodontal pockets, for exampleWolinella recta andBacteroides forsythus, reflecting better basic microbiological techniques. Other species were created from existing species as a result of better characterization methods, i.e.Bacteroides buccae andBacteroides oris. We can recognize different types of periodontal disease and can find differences relating to the progressive compared to inactive lesions. Data illustrated in this presentation suggest that potential pathogens within new species includeB. forsythus, W. recta and quite probablySelenomonas noxia. Methods that are rapid and sensitive for these new species include the use of protein profiles determined using SDS-PAGE, and DNA probes.

Zusammenfassung

Viele neue Spezies sind aus subgingivalen periodontalen Taschen isoliert worden, wie z. B.Wolinella recta undBacteroides forsythus. Dies ist auf verbesserte mikrobiologische Grundtechniken zurückzuführen. Andere Spezies, wie z. B.Bacteroides buccae undBacteroides oris, verdanken genaueren Bestimmungsmethoden ihre Entstehung. Wir können verschiedene Typen periodontaler Erkrankung erkennen und Unterschiede beim Vergleich der progressiven und inaktiven Läsionen feststellen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen die potentielle Pathogenität dieser neuen Spezies, einschl.B. forsythus, W. recta und wahrscheinlich auch vonSelenomonas noxia. Schnelle und sensitive Bestimmungsmethoden für diese neuen Spezies schließen Protein-Profile nach SDS-PAGE und DNA-Sonden ein.
