Porphyromonas gingivalisclonal types that participate in periodontal infections express serologically distinct surface antigens. This investigation sought to determine whether serum antibodies titers against the serotype‐specific capsular carbohydrate K antigen and lipopolysaccharide antigens ofP. gingivalismight reveal which serotypes are most likely to be responsible for subgingival infections in subjects with adult periodontitis. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) titers to purified K antigen and lipopolysaccharide from differentP. gingivalisstrains were measured by ELISA for 28 healthy controls and 51 patients with periodontal pockets known to be infected with genetically and serologically distinctP. gingivalisclonal types. Titers to purified K antigen from strains W50, HG184, A7A1–28, 49417, HG1690 and HG1691, representing serotypes K1‐K6, respectively, and lipopolysaccharide from strains 381, HG1691 and W50, representing serotypes O1–O3, respectively, were measured for all subjects. Chi‐square likelihood ratios, Mann‐Whitney tests and receiver‐operating characterstic sensitivity–specificity plots were used to compare the accuracy with which titer results for different target antigens classified subjects with or without disease. Results from assays targeting K2, K3, K4, K5, O1 and O2 generally gave poor diagnostic accuracy, whether evaluated separately or as summed titer pairs corresponding to the K/O combinations actually expressed by the target antigen parent strains. Exceptions were O3 (from W50) and K5+O2 (both from HG1690), which gave moderate accuracy in classifying subjects. In contrast, highly significant diagnostic accuracy was achieved using individual K1 (W50) and K6 (HG1691) titer data and K1+O3 (W50) and K6+O2 (HG1691) titer sum values. These observations suggest thatP. gingivalisclonal types expressing K/O serotypes matching those of W50 (K1/O3) and HG1691 (K6/O2) are more likely than others to participate in periodontal infections in adult periodontitis patients and thus are more likely than others to express relevant virulence factors.
