Exploration of the interplay between spatially distinct microbial habitats through comparative analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Microbiome differences should consider overall microbial-environment interactions, alongside diversity and richness. Our data cautiously suggest that disease-related changes in the salivary microbiome may be reflected in blood specimens through the oral-blood axis.PMID:37396300 | PMC:PMC10308874 | DOI:10.1080/20002297.2023.2229693 (Source: Journal of Oral Microbiology)

Site-specialization of human oral < em > Gemella < /em > species
J Oral Microbiol. 2023 Jun 22;15(1):2225261. doi: 10.1080/20002297.2023.2225261. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTGemella species are core members of the human oral microbiome in healthy subjects and are regarded as commensals, although they can cause opportunistic infections. Our objective was to evaluate the site-specialization of Gemella species among various habitats within the mouth by combining pangenomics and metagenomics. With pangenomics, we identified genome relationships and categorized genes as core and accessory to each species. With metagenomics, we identified the primary oral habitat of individual genomes. Our resul...
