Microbial protection and virulence in periodontal tissue as a function of polymicrobial communities: symbiosis and dysbiosis
7 Aug 2015
Abstract excerpt
This review discusses polymicrobial interactions with the host in both health and disease. As our ability to identify specific bacterial clonal types, with respect to their abundance and location in the oral biofilm, improves, we will learn more concerning their contribution to both oral health and disease. Recent studies examining host- bacteria interactions have revealed that commensal bacteria not only protect...
