Oral and colonic microbiomes and colon cancer

Oral microbiota include bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and viruses, which can translocate via the digestive tract and may favor local benign or malignant pathology development. Some researchers have studied the physiopathological mechanisms involving the role of oral microorganisms in intestinal disease...
