Genotyping Oral Commensal Bacteria to Predict Social Contact and Structure.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2000

Francis Stephen Starko, Plucinski Mateusz M, Wallace Amelia D, Riley Lee W

Abstract excerpt

Social network structure is a fundamental determinant of human health, from infectious to chronic diseases. However, quantitative and unbiased approaches to measuring social network structure are lacking. We hypothesized that genetic relatedness of oral commensal bacteria could be used to infer social contact between humans, just as genetic relatedness of pathogens can be used to determine transmission chains of...
