Notably, bacterial biofilm formation is increasingly recognized as a passive virulence factor
facilitating many infectious disease processes. In this review we will focus on bacterial …

Human oral cavity (mouth) hosts a complex microbiome consisting of bacteria, archaea,
protozoa, fungi and viruses. These bacteria are responsible for two common diseases of the …

Candida colonisation of the oral cavity increases in immunocompromised individuals which
leads to the development of oral candidiasis. In addition, host factors such as xerostomia …

Teeth are colonized by oral bacteria from saliva containing more than 700 different bacterial
species. If removed regularly, the dental biofilm mainly comprises oral streptococci and is …

The oral microbiota represents an important part of the human microbiota, and includes
several hundred to several thousand diverse species. It is a normal part of the oral cavity …

Streptococcus mutans contributes significantly to dental caries, which arises from
homoeostasic imbalance between host and microbiota. We hypothesized that Lactobacillus …

Dental caries and periodontal disease are widespread diseases for which microorganism
infections have been identified as the main etiology. Silver nanoparticles (Ag Nps) were …

Dental caries, otherwise known as tooth decay, is one of the most prevalent chronic
diseases of people worldwide; individuals are susceptible to this disease throughout their …

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation that develops due to a destructive tissue response to
prolonged inflammation and a disturbed homeostasis (dysbiosis) in the interplay between …

Bacterial adhesion is the initial step in colonization and biofilm formation. Biofilms can, on
the one hand, be detrimental to both human life and industrial processes, for example …
