Abstract
Sixty-three isolates of Actinomyces naeslundii genospecies 1 and 2 and Actinomyces odontolyticus from three subjects clustered into 22 ribot ypes. Unique ribotypes were found in the subjects and within individua l tissue sites (bucca, tooth and tongue). A. odontolyticus ribotypes s hared tongue-specific binding properties, while those of genospecies 1 and 2 from buccal and tooth surfaces shared different types of N-acet yl-beta-D-galactosamine binding specificity.
