Impact of the repurposed drug thonzonium bromide on host oral-gut microbiomes

Abstract Drug repurposing is a feasible strategy for the development of novel therapeutic applications. However, its potential use for oral treatments and impact on host microbiota remain underexplored. Here, we assessed the influences of topical oral applications of a repurposed FDA-approved drug,...
