我们使用聚合酶链反应方法分析了176只日本犬牙菌斑中11种牙周炎相关细菌的分布，这些犬分为年轻（小于2岁）、中年（2-7岁）和老年（8岁以上）组。临床检查发现，在年轻组中没有狗受到牙周炎的影响，而牙龈炎和牙周炎的发病率在中年和老年组中较高。此外，中老年组的细菌种类总数明显多于年轻组。我们的研究结果表明，年龄是一个重要的因素与牙周炎相关的细菌和牙周条件的狗的分布。
We analyzed the distribution of 11 periodontitis-related bacterial species in dental plaque collected from 176 Japanese dogs divided into young (less than 2 years of age), middle-aged (2-7 years of age) and elderly (more than 8 years of age) groups using a polymerase chain reaction method. Clinical examination revealed that no dogs in the young group were affected by periodontitis, whereas the rates for gingivitis and periodontitis were high in the middle-aged and elderly groups. In addition, the total numbers of bacterial species in the middle-aged and elderly groups were significantly greater than in the young group. Our findings suggest that age is an important factor associated with the distribution of periodontitis-related bacteria and periodontal conditions in dogs.
