Microbial differences between dental plaque and historic dental calculus are related to oral biofilm maturation stage [PDF]
Microbiome, 2019 Background Dental calculus, calcified oral plaque biofilm, contains microbial and host biomolecules that can be used to study historic microbiome communities and host responses. Dental calculus does not typically accumulate as much today as historically,

Dental plaque biofilm transforms host-derived β2-microglobulin into polymorphic fibrils for integration into the biofilm matrix [PDF]
BiofilmDental plaque is a polymicrobial biofilm formed on tooth surfaces despite continuous exposure to variable host-derived antimicrobial factors. To date, the underlying mechanisms remain nebulous. This study aimed to determine whether dental plaque biofilms

Urease and Dental Plaque Microbial Profiles in Children. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Urease enzymes produced by oral bacteria generate ammonia, which can have a significant impact on the oral ecology and, consequently, on oral health. To evaluate the relationship of urease with dental plaque microbial profiles in children as it relates ...

Respiratory pathogen colonisation of dental plaque, the lower airways and endotracheal tube biofilms during mechanical ventilation [PDF]
Journal of critical care, 2017 Purpose In mechanically ventilated patients, the endotracheal tube is an essential interface between the patient and ventilator, but inadvertently, it also facilitates the development of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) by subverting pulmonary host ...
