title: [A rapid diagnosis (SK-013) for periodontitis based on the enzymatic activity of periodontopathic bacteria. Study on the characterization of the SK-013 and the enzyme specificity].
abstract: We present studies for development of an enzymatic diagnostic method for periodontitis. A rapid and sensitive diagnostic method named SK-013 was provided by Sunstar Inc. to evaluate the peptidase activities specifically derived from periodontopathic bacteria such as Bacteroides gingivalis, Bacteroides forsythus and Treponema denticola and some strains of Capnocytophaga species. The results obtained indicated the specificity of the enzymatic reaction in this system.
