Metagenomic Analysis of Saliva Reveals Disease-Associated Microbiotas in Patients With Periodontitis and Crohn’s Disease-Associated Periodontitis

Abstract excerpt

Patients with Crohn’s disease frequently develop oral health problems and show a higher prevalence of oral manifestations, such as dental caries and periodontitis, than healthy individuals do. In this study, a metagenomic analysis was carried out to characterize the salivary microbiota in patients with either periodontitis or Crohn’s disease-associated periodontitis. Saliva samples were collected from six...
