Abstract
Porphyromonas gingivalis is a frequent isolate from the gingival sulcus of individuals with periodontal disease, and is believed to play a major role in the pathogenesis of chronic adult periodontitis (Slots, 1977; Tanner et al., 1979; White and Mayrand, 1981). This organism is a gram-negative, nonmotile, nonspore-forming, obligate anaerobe. Cells are generally cocco-bacillary (0.5 by 1 to 2 µm) in shape. Until recently, P. gingivalis was known as Bacteroides gingivalis, a member of the asaccharolytic black-pigmented Bacteroides group, but the species has now been reclassified as P. gingivalis (Shah and Collins, 1988).
