title: [Morpho-functional characteristics of bacterial species of major importance in endodontic infections].
abstract: Most of the bacteria involved in the endodontic infection can be considered as "highly specific", for they appear to be almost irrelevant in the large field of the other human disease from infection. Namely the most important anaerobia responsible for endodontic infection are: Bacteroides, Fusobacterium, Peptostreptococcus, and Veillonella. The group of Bacteroides is composed by several species with different metabolic and genetic characteristics. They are Gram-, non-motile, non-spore-forming rods. Fusobacterium are spindle-shaped, Gram-, non motile, non-spore-forming bacilli. Peptostreptococci are round-shaped, Gram+, non-motile cocci. Veillonella are small, Gram-, non-motile cocci.
