Oligonucleotide primers specific for gene clusters involved in the
biosynthesis of serotype-specific polysaccharide antigens were designed
to identify Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans serotypes
a to e using the multiplex PCR. This method may be useful for
serotype-specific genotyping rapidly and directly from clinical samples
containing various organisms.
