Table 3. AP PCR types with serotype b isolates (n = 51) divided into leukotoxicity categories based on results of the cell lysis (LDH) method.
AP PCR types | ||
Genotypes of A.a* | JP2/JP2-like, n (%) | Other, n (%) |
JP2 | 10 (100) | 0 (0) |
non-JP2 high leukotoxicity | 10 (67) | 5 (33) |
non-JP2 average leukotoxicity | 2 (18) | 9 (82) |
non-JP2 minimal leukotoxicity | 2 (13) | 13 (87) |
*A.a; A. actinomycetemcomitans.
(%): proportion of isolates within each leukotoxicity group.
