        The findings suggest that microbes can occasionally enter the bloodstream from other body sites without causing disease, but they do not support the idea of a common blood microbiota.

        The findings of a new study suggest that periodontal disease may contribute to rheumatoid arthritis by triggering specific immune responses.

        A recent study suggests that people who spend time together share similar gut microbiotas — with some microbes being largely transmitted between friends and relatives.

        Periodontitis might be associated with cognitive decline, suggesting a possible etiopathologic role in Alzheimer's disease.

        Some gut and mouth bacteria produce enzymes that metabolize acarbose, a common antidiabetic drug, in ways that may reduce its therapeutic efficacy. A new study published in Nature claims.

        The mouth microbiota may be used as a potential biomarker and target for the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer. A new study pulished in Cell Reports claims.

        S. mutans produces tryglysin to inhibit the growth of competing species, including other streptococci that could cause opportunistic infection.

        A new study published in Science Advances suggest that the gut microbiota should be considered when studying the regulation of maternal behavior.

        The interaction between newborns’ epithelia and the microbiota is crucial to the balance of the oral mucosa and it can have long-term health consequences.
