The dynamic and polymicrobial oral microbiome is a direct precursor of diseases such as
dental caries and periodontitis, two of the most prevalent microbially induced disorders …

Biofilms are microbial communities embedded within an extracellular matrix, forming a
highly organized structure that causes many human infections. Dental caries (tooth decay) is …

The human oral cavity harbors diverse communities of microbes that live as biofilms: highly
ordered, surface-associated assemblages of microbes embedded in an extracellular matrix …

Early childhood caries (ECC) is one of the most prevalent diseases in children worldwide.
ECC is driven by a dysbiotic state of oral microorganisms mainly caused by a sugar‐rich …

Tooth decay (dental caries) is a widespread human disease caused by microbial biofilms.
Streptococcus mutans, a biofilm-former, has been consistently associated with severe …

Oral Candida albicans has been detected in children with early childhood caries (ECC) and
has demonstrated cariogenic traits in animal models of the disease. Conversely, other …

Severe tooth decay has been associated with iron deficiency anemia that disproportionally
burdens susceptible populations. Current modalities are insufficient in severe cases where …

Candida albicans is frequently detected with heavy infection of Streptococcus mutans in
plaque-biofilms from children affected with early-childhood caries, a prevalent and costly …

Fungi and bacteria often engage in complex interactions, such as the formation of
multicellular biofilms within the human body. Knowledge about how interkingdom biofilms …

Ferumoxytol is a nanoparticle formulation approved by the US Food and Drug
