Although periodontitis is a bacterial disease, its multidimensional nature and its bacterial complexity have made it difficult to definitively prove that specific microorganisms initiate the disease process. The successful implantation of a rifampin-resistant strain of the putative periodonatal pathogen Bacteroides gingivalis into the periodontal microbiota of monkeys (Macaca fasicularis) resulted in an increase in the systemic levels of antibody to the microorganism and rapid and significant bone loss.
