| Abstract | The bacterium Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is associated with aggressive periodontitis. Individuals colonised with the highly leukotoxic JP2 genotype of the bacterium, are at increased risk for developing periodontitis. The JP2 genotype is considered to emerge from North Africa and subsequently spread to individuals of African origin, living geographically widespread including in other parts of Africa and outside Africa. Reports of non-African carriers of the JP2 genotype are scares. However, in this study we characterize by multilocus sequence analysis JP2 genotype isolates collected from individuals of both African and non- African origin.Materials and Methods: The study collection comprised 43 JP2 genotype strains. Among those 23 were isolated at the Clinical laboratory of Dental School, Umeå, Sweden, from samples collected from patients living in Sweden, but of both non-Africa and African origin. Seven housekeeping genes were sequenced and the strains were distributed according to different sequence types (ST).Results: In total, 8 ST were identified. The 11 isolates collected from patients of non-African origin were distributed in two ST groups, while the 12 isolates from patients of African origin were distributed in eight ST groups.Conclusions: The JP2 genotype colonizing individuals of African origin may be more susceptible to mutations than those colonizing non- African individuals. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
