The oral cavity harbors a rich and diverse microflora, which is mostly found within biofilms
attached to the various soft-and hard-tissue surfaces. Recent studies using molecular …

The oral microbiome can alter the balance between health and disease, locally and
systemically. Within the oral cavity, bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa, and viruses may all be …

The oral microbiome is an emerging field that has been a topic of discussion since the
development of next generation sequencing and the implementation of the human …

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 oral microbial community represents the best-characterized consortium associated with
the human host. There are strong correlations between the qualitative composition of the …

The oral microbiome is incredibly complex with the average adult harboring about 50–100
billion bacteria in the oral cavity, which represent about 200 predominant bacterial species …

While reductionism has greatly advanced microbiology in the past 400 years, assembly of
smaller pieces just could not explain the whole! Modern microbiologists are learning “system …

Culture-independent nucleic acid technologies have been extensively applied to the
analysis of oral bacterial communities associated with healthy and diseased conditions …

A more comprehensive understanding of oral diseases like caries and periodontitis is
dependent on an intimate understanding of the microbial ecological processes that are …

Recent rapid advances in “-omics” technologies have yielded new insights into the
interaction of the oral microbiome with its host. Associations of species that are usually …
