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. Keywords: Serotype b, cagE, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans
