Supragingival Plaque Microbiome Ecology and Functional Potential in the Context of Health and Disease

ABSTRACT To address the question of how microbial diversity and function in the oral cavities of children relates to caries diagnosis, we surveyed the supragingival plaque biofilm microbiome in 44 juvenile twin pairs. Using shotgun sequencing, we constructed a genome encyclopedia describing the core...
