Metatranscriptomics reveals overall active bacterial composition in caries lesions
1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Identifying the microbial species in caries lesions is instrumental to determine the etiology of dental caries. However, a significant proportion of bacteria in carious lesions have not been cultured, and the use of molecular methods has been limited to DNA-based approaches, which detect both active and inactive or dead microorganisms. OBJECTIVE: To identify the RNA-based, metabolically active...
