Microbial signatures in human periodontal disease: a metatranscriptome meta-analysis

Abstract excerpt

The characterization of oral microbial communities and their functional potential has been shaped by metagenomics and metatranscriptomics studies. Here, a meta-analysis of four geographically and technically diverse oral shotgun metatranscriptomics studies of human periodontitis was performed. In total, 54 subgingival plaque samples, 27 healthy and 27 periodontitis, were analyzed. The core microbiota of the...
