Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is a major causative agent of chronic and aggressive periodontitis. Freshly isolated strains of A. actinomycetemcomitans display rough-type colonies and initiate biofilm formation on glass surfaces. The purpose of this study was to determine the antibiotic susceptibility of A. actinomycetemcomitans biofilm during different phases of maturation.
