  1. *Mean log-transformed numbers of A.actinomycetemcomitans 16 s rDNA from moderate pockets samples were significantly higher than that from shallow pockets (P < 0.05).
  2. **Mean log-transformed numbers of A.actinomycetemcomitans 16 s rDNA and cdt genotype of A.actinomycetemcomitans from deep pockets samples were significantly higher than that from moderate and shallow pockets (P < 0.05).
