Abstract
The study aimed to determine the frequency of isolates containing the gene cagE
within serotype b strains. The study showed the isolation of 35 strains belonging
to the species Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans based on biochemical and
phenotypical characteristics. 60% of isolates belonged to serotype b, and 68.5%
showed a positive result for cagE. The remaining 8.5% of strains carrying the
gene cagE were not serotype b, so these isolates most likely may be diagnosed as
belonging to JP2 genotype strains.
