Comparative metagenomics reveals taxonomically idiosyncratic yet functionally congruent communities in periodontitis
19 Dec 2016
Abstract excerpt
The phylogenetic characteristics of microbial communities associated with periodontitis have been well studied, however, little is known about the functional endowments of this ecosystem. The present study examined 73 microbial assemblages from 25 individuals with generalized chronic periodontitis and 25 periodontally healthy individuals using whole genome shotgun sequencing. Core metabolic networks were computed...
