Relationships of Variations in the Tongue Microbiota and Pneumonia Mortality in Nursing Home Residents

19 Oct 2017

Abstract excerpt

Background: Aspiration of oral debris, containing dense oral bacteria, is a major cause of pneumonia in elderly adults. This study investigated the relationship between tongue microbiota composition and incidence of pneumonia-related deaths, in nursing home residents. Methods: The subjects were assessed for health conditions, including their tongue microbiota, at baseline. We determined tongue microbiota profiles...
