Abstract
The genetic diversity of 205 Eikenella corrodens isolates recovered fr om dental plaque, mucosal surfaces, and saliva of 24 subjects was exam ined by arbitrarily primed PCR. Twenty-two subjects were colonized by multiple clones (range, two to eight; mean, 3.7). This study demonstra tes the utility of arbitrarily primed PCR for clonal analysis of E. co rrodens and the multiclonal colonization of E. corrodens in the oral c avity.
