Cytolethal Distending Toxin of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans
Clinically isolated A. actinomycetemcomitans produces cytolethal distending toxin, which is a new member of bacterial toxins that triggers the response of the cell cycle checkpoint and induces G2 arrest in the cells. In this session, the molecular mechanism of Cdt-induced intoxication and its relevance to onset of periodontal disease will be discussed.
