periodontal ligament, periodontitis, produces cytokines, which cause cell destruction
bacteria that can withstand cold temperatures
psychrophiles
bacteria that can withstand hot temps
thermophiles
mesophiles
live in moderate temp found in human body
generation time is
the time for bacteria to become double the amount of the original
consists of streptococcus, actinmyces – mostly gram positive
plaque
