Periodontitis is caused by dysbiotic subgingival bacterial communities that may lead to
increased bacterial invasion into gingival tissues. Although shifts in community structures …

Periodontitis is driven by disproportionate host inflammatory immune responses induced by
an imbalance in the composition of oral bacteria; this instigates microbial dysbiosis, along …

This study performed barcoded multiplex pyrosequencing with a 454 FLX instrument to
compare the microbiota of dental root canal infections associated with acute (symptomatic) …

Objective: The oral microbiota plays a key part in the initial colonization by pathogens and
the chronic inflammatory reaction of the host. We measured variations in the salivary …

Polymicrobial diseases, which can be life threatening, are caused by the presence and
interactions of multiple microbes. Peri-implantitis and periodontitis are representative …

Objectives To explore microbial communities associated with health and disease status
around teeth and dental implants. Materials and methods A total of 10 healthy, 24 …

Oral microbes form a complex and dynamic biofilm community, which is subjected to daily
host and environmental challenges. Dysbiosis of the oral biofilm is correlated with local and …

Dental caries has a polymicrobial etiology within the complex oral microbial ecosystem.
However, the overall diversity and structure of supragingival plaque microbiota in adult …

Although attempts have been made to reveal the relationships between bacteria and human
health, little is known about the species and function of the microbial community associated …

Human microbial communities are highly complex ecosystems, but it remains unclear if
microbial compositions have any similarity in distinct sites of the oral cavity and esophagus …
