The usefulness of a digoxigenin‐labeled genomic DNA probe for the detection of subgingivalBacteroides forsythuswas examined. In addition, the arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction (AP‐PCR) was used to delineate the genetic diversity ofB. forsythusperiodontal isolates. The DNA probe detected 103B. forsvthuscells and yielded a strong signal at 104cells. It reacted withB. forsythusATCC 43037Tand 44 clinical isolates and showed no detectable reactivity with 75 strains of 24 other oral microbial species. In comparison to culture, the DNA probe in a dot‐blot method demonstrated a sensitivity of 88.8% and a specificity of 38.4% (accuracy, 72.5%). By colony‐blotting on primary plates, a sensitivity of 98.1% and a specificity of 53.8% (accuracy, 82.5%i) were obtained.B. forsythuswas detected in 449 (73.1%) of 614 periodontitis patients. The occurrence of the organism was closely associated withPorphyromonas gingivalis, both species being present in 54.8%. and absent in 22.2%, of 270 study samples. AP‐PCR identified 24B. forsythusgenotypes among 27 test strains. This study demonstrated the utility of a non‐radioactive genomic probe for direct detection ofB. forsvthusin subgingival specimens. The species showed a considerable degree of genetic diversity. DNA analysis may help to determine the role ofB. forsythusin periodontal disease and its mode of transmission among exposed individuals.
