oral microbiota
Gastroenterology, Neuroscience
Cocaine users have an altered gut and oral microbiota composition and function, which can be rescued by rTMS-induced cocaine abstinence.
Scientific research
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.
Dentistry, Infectiology
The findings of a new study suggest that periodontal disease may contribute to rheumatoid arthritis by triggering specific immune responses.
Gastroenterology, Pediatrics
A recent study suggests that people who spend time together share similar gut microbiotas — with some microbes being largely transmitted between friends and relatives.
Dentistry, Neuroscience
Periodontitis might be associated with cognitive decline, suggesting a possible etiopathologic role in Alzheimer's disease.
Endocrinology, Gastroenterology
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.
Oncology
Specific bacteria in combination with a hydrogel containing silver nanoparticles can reduce tumor growth in mice with a cancer of the oral cavity. A new study published in Nature Biomedical…
Oncology
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.
Otolaryngology
S. mutans produces tryglysin to inhibit the growth of competing species, including other streptococci that could cause opportunistic infection.
Pediatrics
A new study published in Science Advances suggest that the gut microbiota should be considered when studying the regulation of maternal behavior.
