Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: This study investigated the bacterial community composition, phenotypes, and differentially abundant taxa in primary and secondary/persistent endodontic infections. METHODS: Bacterial profiles of 12 primary and 12 secondary/persistent endodontic infections were analyzed using 16 S V3-V4 next-generation sequencing. Reads were processed into ASVs using DADA2 in Qiime2, and taxonomy was assigned with the...
