Dental plaque and a bacterium, Actinomyces viscosus, isolated from plaque that can reproduce periodontal disease in germ-free rats, are activators of complement by the alternative pathway. It is suggested that this process is involved in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory periodontal disease.
牙菌斑以及从牙菌斑中分离出的一种细菌——黏性放线菌,该细菌可在无菌大鼠身上引发牙周病,它们是补体替代途径的激活剂。有人提出,这一过程与慢性炎症性牙周病的发病机制有关。
