THE ACTION OF ORAL BACTERIA ON COLLAGEN

R. B. LUCAS 1 and J. C. THONARD 1

1 Department of Pathology, Royal Dental Hospital of London School of Dental Surgery, London, England

Cultures were made from the pockets of twelve persons with periodontal disease and from the gingival sulci of six healthy persons. One hundred nine strains of organisms were isolated, fifty-six of these being capable of causing the disintegration of collagen in vitro.

It is concluded, from this and other evidence, that many of the organisms of the oral cavity are potential pathogens, and that the role of organisms generally regarded as purely commensal should be borne in mind.
