Distribution of P. gingivalis and S. cristatus in cell counts.
P. gingivalis | S. cristatus | |
---|---|---|
CA | 3,204 ± 9,914 | 43,438 ± 117,931 |
AA | 16,615 ± 24,251 | 18,230 ± 24,564 |
HA | 2,299,608 ± 9,407,308 | 70,504 ± 2,007,328 |
p-Value | 0.015a | 0.063 |
Bacterial cell counts were determined by qPCR and presented as Mean ± SD.
The mean difference of P. gingivalis is significant at the 0.05 level amongst 3 ethnic/racial groups (Kruskal–Wallis test).
