The last few decades have witnessed an increasing interest in studying the human
microbiome and its role in health and disease. The focus of those studies was mainly the …

It has been established that the bacterial diversity in any given environment is severely
underestimated when assessed by means of culture‐based techniques. Yet, almost all …

The oral microbiome plays a key role for caries, periodontitis, and systemic diseases. A
method for rapid, high-resolution, robust taxonomic profiling of subgingival bacterial …

Biofilm bacteria co‐evolve and reach a symbiosis with the host on the gingival surface. The
disruption of the homeostatic relationship between plaque bacteria and the host can initiate …

States of oral health and disease reflect the compositional and functional capacities of, as
well as the interspecies interactions within, the oral microbiota. The oral cavity exists as a …

The human microbiome influences and reflects the health or disease state of the host.
Periodontitis, a disease affecting about half of American adults, is associated with alterations …

The goals of this study were to better understand the ecology of oral subgingival
communities in health and periodontitis and elucidate the relationship between inflammation …

Chronic periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the periodontium affecting nearly 65
million adults in the United States. Changes in subgingival microbiota have long been …

The estimation of oral microbiome (OM) taxonomic composition in periodontally healthy
individuals can often be biased because the clinically periodontally healthy subjects for …

We examined the subgingival bacterial biodiversity in untreated chronic periodontitis
patients by sequencing 16S rRNA genes. The primary purpose of the study was to compare …
