Microbiological and Clinical Aspects of Cervicofacial Actinomyces Infections: An Overview
Similarly to other non-spore-forming Gram-positive anaerobes, members of the Actinomyces genus are important saprophytic constituents of the normal microbiota of humans.

Gut microbiota markers in obese adolescent and adult patients: Age-dependent differential patterns [PDF]
Obesity levels, especially in children, have dramatically increased over the last few decades. Recently, several studies highlighted the involvement of gut microbiota in the pathophysiology of obesity. We investigated the composition of gut microbiota in

Actinomyces and Alimentary Tract Diseases: A Review of Its Biological Functions and Pathology
Actinomyces are nonmotile, filamentous, Gram-positive bacteria that cause actinomycosis in immunodeficiency patients. Although the prognosis of actinomycosis is good, the diagnosis of actinomycosis is quite difficult. Recent studies on actinomycosis have

Analysis of the Effects of Dietary Pattern on the Oral Microbiome of Elite Endurance Athletes [PDF]
Although the oral microbiota is known to play a crucial role in human health, there are few studies of diet x oral microbiota interactions, and none in elite athletes who may manipulate their intakes of macronutrients to achieve different metabolic ...

Application of COMPOCHIP Microarray to Investigate the Bacterial Communities of Different Composts [PDF]
A microarray spotted with 369 different 16S rRNA gene probes specific to microorganisms involved in the degradation process of organic waste during composting was developed. The microarray was tested with pure cultures, and of the 30,258 individual probe-

In vitro increased respiratory activity of selected oral bacteria may explain competitive and collaborative interactions in the oral microbiome [PDF]
Understanding the driving forces behind the shifts in the ecological balance of the oral microbiota will become essential for the future management and treatment of periodontitis. As the use of competitive approaches for modulating bacterial outgrowth is

Abstract This narrative review summarizes the collective knowledge on periodontal microbiology, through a historical timeline that highlights the European contribution in the global field. The etiological concepts on periodontal disease culminate to the ecological plaque hypothesis and its dysbiosis‐centered interpretation.

Metagenomic analysis of dental calculus in ancient Egyptian baboons [PDF]
Dental calculus, or mineralized plaque, represents a record of ancient biomolecules and food residues. Recently, ancient metagenomics made it possible to unlock the wealth of microbial and dietary information of dental calculus to reconstruct oral ...
