Deep sequencing reveals specific bacterial signatures in the subgingival microbiota of healthy subjects

ConclusionsThe present results clarify the lack of effect of tooth location in the healthy subgingival microbiota. Results may suggest that any subgingival site can demonstrate similar subject-specific microbiota.Clinical relevanceThis investigation offers a better understanding of the uniqueness of the oral microbiome. The present study will facilitate sampling in future subgingival microbiological studies.
