A spatial gradient of bacterial diversity in the human oral cavity shaped by salivary flow

Oral microbial communities are excellent sites for examining the mechanisms of structural variation in the microbiota. Here, the authors use spatial and ecological analysis to examine over 9000 dental and mucosal microbiota samples. They find that saliva plays a key role in structuring bacterial com...

Sumario:Oral microbial communities are excellent sites for examining the mechanisms of structural variation in the microbiota. Here, the authors use spatial and ecological analysis to examine over 9000 dental and mucosal microbiota samples. They find that saliva plays a key role in structuring bacterial communities in the mouth.
