Restriction digests of the clone give the following sizes (kb): BamHI--uncut; HindIII--4.2; EcoRI--4.2; Pvul--4.2; PstI--4.2; EcoRI/PstI--3.2, 0.9.
This probe can be used to detect Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (proposed to be reclassified as Haemophilus actinomycetemcomitans), a causative agent of juvenile periodontitis.
This probe does not hybridize to Haemophilus aphrophilus (strains 621, 626, 654, 655, H77, H80, H81, ATCC 13252, ATCC 19415, NCTC 5906), H. paraprophilus (strains H76, H78, ATCC 29241), or H. influenza (strains H9, H104).
This probe hybridizes to A. actinomycetemcomitans, strains Y4, 511, 652, ATCC 29522, ATCC 29523, ATCC 29524, 650, 651, 652, 2043, 2097, 2112, N27, NCTC 9710.
