The effect of bacteriophage in oral health: developing microbial ecology and emerging potential therapeutic target

Abstract excerpt

The human oral cavity provides a convenient entry point for viruses and bacteria from the environment. The role of these viral communities remains unclear; however, many of them are bacteriophages that may actively influence the ecology of bacterial communities within the oral cavity. Bacteriophages are abundant and influential components of the oral microbiome and play a crucial role in shaping microbial ecology...
