| abstract | Clinical Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans produces cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) with titers varying from 102 to 108 U/mg. SNP analysis of the Cdt gene in clinical isolates identified a variation of single amino acid at residue 281 of CdtB, which significantly affected CDT toxicity by modulating chromatin degrading activity of CdtB.
