Significance of Enterococcus faecalis antigen efaA
ENTEROCOCCUS FAECALIS EFAA IN THERAPY-RESISTANT ENDONTIC INFECTIONS

Enterococcus faecalis implicated in persistent root canal infections has also been associated with infective endocarditis arising from certain invasive dental procedures. The aim of this study was to detect the presence of putative E. faecalis virulence factor, endocarditis antigen efaA in root canals of therapy-resistant endodontic infections using molecular technology.
