Abstract
Fluorescent oligonucleotide probes complementary to variable regions o f Porphyromonas gingivalis and Bacteroides forsythus 16S ribosomal RNA were used to identify these organisms in smears of formaldehyde-fixed subgingival plaque samples from patients suffering from periodontitis . Fluorescence in situ hybridization represents a useful method for as sessing the microbial ecology of the periodontal flora.
