Nitrite-producing oral microbiome in adults and children

Abstract Recently, it was suggested that the nitrite (NO2 −) produced from NO3 − by oral bacteria might contribute to oral and general health. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the detailed information about the bacterial NO2-production in the oral biofilm. Dental plaque and tongue-coating samples were...
