Q

Reasons why determining etiology of pdd is difficult:

A

600+ spp in different ppl, 30-100/ site, habitat determines which can grow, many fastidious or can’t be grown, trouble getting representative spp from a site, contaminating spp may be present + complicate analysis and interpretation, if spp shift during active phase time of sampling is important, current classification of pdd may not be good enough to distinguish bw different types of pdd, each grouping may represent a highly heterogenous group, different sites may break down due to different pathogens, sites may show activity due to one pathogen at one time and bc of another at a later time, difficult to distinguish bw opportunistic spp 2’ to disease vs. causing the disease, difficult to eval possible pairs of spp (P. gingivalis may be present in pts w no disease), different strains of 1 spp may be virulent vs. avirulent, individual variation in immune response
