Abstract
Objectives
The inter‑individual variations in oral microbial composition remain largely unknown. This study aims to identify the bacterial and fungal compositional patterns of human oral microbiome.
Methods
A total of 389 bacterial samples from 5 cohorts and 118 fungal samples from 3 cohorts were collected. Partitioning around medoid (PAM) clustering method was used to cluster the samples of 16S and ITS amplification, respectively. Considering that the clusters identified in gut microbiome were previously named as “enterotypes”, the identified clusters in oral microbiome were called “oraltypes”.
Results
In the oral bacteriome, Prevotella, Streptococcus and Neisseria were the most abundant genera. Meanwhile, two bacterial “oraltypes” dominated by Neisseria and Veillonella were identified. In the oral mycobiome, Candida and Malassezia were the most abundant genera, which were also the dominant genera of the two identified fungal “oraltypes”. Further analysis showed that bacterial “oraltypes” were associated with the human age.
Conclusions
There are two bacterial and two fungal compositional patterns in human oral microbiome.
Clinical significance
This study identified the “oraltypes”, which can be used to depict the homogeneity and heterogeneity of oral microbiota among populations, as well as to analyze the susceptibility to certain diseases in different individuals.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Dentistry has an open access mirror journal The Journal of Dentistry: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The Journal of Dentistry is the leading international dental journal within the field of Restorative Dentistry. Placing an emphasis on publishing novel and high-quality research papers, the Journal aims to influence the practice of dentistry at clinician, research, industry and policy-maker level on an international basis.
Topics covered include the management of dental disease, periodontology, endodontology, operative dentistry, fixed and removable prosthodontics, dental biomaterials science, long-term clinical trials including epidemiology and oral health, technology transfer of new scientific instrumentation or procedures, as well as clinically relevant oral biology and translational research.
The Journal of Dentistry will publish original scientific research papers including short communications. It is also interested in publishing review articles and leaders in themed areas which will be linked to new scientific research. Conference proceedings are also welcome and expressions of interest should be communicated to the Editor.
