Publication date: Available online 30 May 2019Source: Journal of Microbiological MethodsAuthor(s): Niall A. Hickey, Kathryn A. Whitehead, Liliana Shalamanova, Jonathan A. Butler, Rebecca L. TaylorAbstractA novel microbiological medium designed to be more representative of gingival crevicular fluid. Chosen representative periodontal microorganisms showed good growth with minimal effect on human cell viability. This will enable more comparisons between different periodontitis associated organisms and their potential role in host health and systemic disease.
