Characterization of pathogenic microbiome on removable prostheses with different levels of cleanliness using 2bRAD-M metagenomic sequencing
CONCLUSIONS: The microbial community of plaque samples from 'unclean' prostheses demonstrated compositional differences compared with 'clean' prostheses. In addition, the pathogenic microbiome in the 'unclean' versus 'clean' group differed.PMID:38410192 | PMC:PMC10896157 | DOI:10.1080/20002297.2024.2317059 (Source: Journal of Oral Microbiology)

Oxidative stress response: a critical factor affecting the ecological competitiveness of < em > Streptococcus mutans < /em >
J Oral Microbiol. 2023 Dec 12;16(1):2292539. doi: 10.1080/20002297.2023.2292539. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTOral microecological balance is closely associated with the development of dental caries. Oxidative stress is one of the important factors regulating the composition and structure of the oral microbial community. Streptococcus mutans is linked to the occurrence and development of dental caries. The ability of S. mutans to withstand oxidative stress affects its survival competitiveness in biofilms. The oxidative stress regulatory mechanisms of S. mutans include synthesis of reductase, regulation of metal ions uptake, re...

Manipulating the diseased oral microbiome: the power of probiotics and prebiotics
J Oral Microbiol. 2024 Jan 31;16(1):2307416. doi: 10.1080/20002297.2024.2307416. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTDental caries and periodontal disease are amongst the most prevalent global disorders. Their aetiology is rooted in microbial activity within the oral cavity, through the generation of detrimental metabolites and the instigation of potentially adverse host immune responses. Due to the increasing threat of antimicrobial resistance, alternative approaches to readdress the balance are necessary. Advances in sequencing technologies have established relationships between disease and oral dysbiosis, and commercial enterprise...
