Background/purposePorphyromonas gingivalisis a major causative agent of chronic periodontitis, whilst circumstances for acquisition of the bacterium remain to be elucidated. To examine prevalence of the bacterium harboring distinctfimAtypes in dental plaque of children, we established PCR procedures that are applicable for specimens with limited amounts. By this method, all sixfimAtypes including type I and Ib were directly identified, and prevalence offimAtypes and their frequency of guardian-child transmission in Japanese children were assessed.Materials and methodsGenomic DNA was purified from dental plaque specimens of 132 periodontally healthy children (2–12 years old, 4.8 ± 0.2 years) and 19 mothers of resultantP. gingivalis-positive child subjects. PCR-basedfimAgenotyping was performed, and untypeable strains in the first PCR analysis were determined by a nested PCR.ResultsP. gingivaliswas found in 15.2% of the subjects (2–10 years old, 5.1 ± 0.6 years), and the most prevalent types were I and IV (37.0% each), followed by Ib and III (11.1% each), and then II (7.4%). Seven (35.0%) of the 20P. gingivalis-positive subjects had combined colonization of type I with otherfimAtypes. In most cases, bacterial prevalence andfimAtypes in the children were distinct from those of their mothers, indicating that its maternal transmission was not significant.ConclusionThese results suggest that colonization of non-disease-associatedfimAtypes I and IVP. gingivalisto the oral cavity initiates from early childhood without showing any periodontal inflammation.
