Mapping the oral microbiome opens links to periodontitis. Journal Article

Overview

abstract

• Many microbiome analysis techniques can only detect the microbes present in the reference genome database used. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Cha et al. establish an improved genome database of the human oral microbiome, which they use to discover a connection between periodontitis and an enigmatic bacterial phylum.
