A total of 162 samples of material from the periodontal foci of infection were examined microbiologically and morphologically to detect mycobacteria and their biologically changed variants. The regularities of the pathologic process development in periodontal tissues of subjects without tuberculosis were found to fully conform to the current concept of a latent tuberculous infection. The periodontal foci of infection may be regarded as reservoirs of persistent mycobacteria, whose main form, L variant, was detected in 71.6% of cases. Clinical and morphologic manifestations of periodontitis depend on the stability of the persistent mycobacteria L forms.
对162份来自牙周感染病灶的样本进行了微生物学和形态学检查，以检测分枝杆菌及其生物学变异体。发现无结核病受试者牙周组织病理过程发展规律完全符合当前潜伏性结核感染的概念。牙周感染病灶可被视为持续性分枝杆菌的储存库，其主要形式L型变异体在71.6%的病例中被检测到。牙周炎的临床和形态学表现取决于持续性分枝杆菌L型的稳定性。
