The oral microbiome in Hispanics remains largely resilient during mild SARS‐CoV‐2 infection, showing minimal diversity changes, while COVID‐19 vaccination induces increased microbial evenness and compositional shifts. These findings highlight limited infection impact but suggest vaccination transiently reshapes oral microbial ecology.

Impact of Electronic Cigarette Use on the Oral Microbiota: A Systematic Review
ABSTRACT Aim To examine whether the oral microbiota of e‐cigarette users differs from that of never smokers and current smokers. Materials and Methods PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science were searched on 27 August 2025. Human studies using molecular methods to compare oral microbiota in saliva, subgingival plaque and oral mucosal swabs among e‐cigarette ...

Salivary Microvesicle Methylome and Microbiome Profiles in Periodontitis: An Exploratory Study
ABSTRACT Aim Salivary microvesicles (MVs) are nanosized extracellular vesicles from the host and microbiota whose cargo may mirror the biological state of their parent cells. This cross‐sectional study aimed to explore the diagnostic power of host methylome and microbiome profiles of MVs in various periodontal disease states. Materials and Methods This

The Outcome of Intracellular Selenomonas sputigena and its Impact on Gingival Keratinocytes
ABSTRACT Selenomonas sputigena is an understudied oral pathobiont associated with periodontitis and dental caries. We recently demonstrated that S. sputigena binds to gingival epithelial cells (GECs), where afterwards the bacterium causes robust in vitro pro‐inflammatory cytokine production and migration of monocytes and neutrophils.

ABSTRACT Porphyromonas gingivalis is a key pathogen in periodontitis, with secreted proteases as major virulence factors. We developed a screening method to generate and identify P. gingivalis mutants with elevated protease activity. Mutations were induced using the mutagens 2,6‐diaminopurine (2,6‐DAP) or ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS), and the ...

In patients with severe obesity, periodontitis is associated with oral microbiota dysbiosis which influences gut microbiota composition by increasing Proteobacteria proportion. These alterations are linked to systemic immune and metabolic changes, including higher circulating levels of anti‐Porphyromonas gingivalis lgG and deregulated lipid profile ...
