Metataxonomic sequencing reveals compositional shifts within the denture-associated microbiome in pneumonia
2020-02-10
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Bacterial pneumonia affects a disproportionate number of the elderly in the UK, with substantial morbidity and mortality. Mounting evidence implicates removable dentures as a potential nidus for respiratory pathogens to form a reservoir which could seed colonisation and infection of respiratory tissues in susceptible individuals. However, research evaluating the denture-assoc...
