Bacterial contamination of specific bacteria strains was assessed through qPCR of samples obtained with probe collection in (a) treated and (b) control sites. On the Y-axis, “−” means negativity (no colony-forming units, CFU); “” means low positivity (up to 10 4 CFU); “+” means moderate positivity (between 10 5 and 10 6 CFU); and “++” means high positivity (between 10 6 and 10 7 CFU). “Aggregatibacter actinomycetem” is short for Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. Error bars show SEM. 1
