Probiotics are defined as live microorganisms that beneficially affect the host. Probiotic bacteria have been used therapeutically for years to target gastrointestinal disease by rebalancing the complex microflora. Besides the gastrointestinal tract also the oral cavity is highly colonized by bacteria and many different bacterial species are part of the microbiota in the mouth, as it offers ide...

Barrier surfaces, such as the intestinal lining and the skin, are colonized by a diverse community of commensal microorganisms. Although commensal microorganisms clearly impact the host immune system, whether the immune system also shapes the commensal community is poorly understood. We used 16S rDNA deep sequencing to test whether mice with specific immune defects have an altered commensal mic...

One of the major innovations in dental home care therapy was the introduction of fluorides in the 1950s for the management of dental caries. Since that time, fluoride has not only been incorporated into dentifrices, but also into a variety of delivery systems. It was not until the 1990s that the next significant advance in patient home care occurred with the introduction by the Colgate-Palmoliv...

Ancient hominoid genome studies can be regarded by definition as metagenomic analyses since they represent a mixture of both hominoid and microbial sequences in an environment. Here, we report the molecular detection of the oral spirochete Treponema denticola in ancient human tissue biopsies of the Iceman, a 5,300-year-old Copper Age natural ice mummy. Initially, the metagenomic data of the Ice...

BACKGROUND Retention of mouth-to-mouth, mouth-to-mask and mouth-to-face shield ventilation techniques is poorly understood. METHODS A prospective randomised clinical trial was undertaken in January 2004 in 70 candidates randomly assigned to training in mouth-to-mouth, mouth-to-mask or mouth-to-face shield ventilation. Each candidate was trained for 10 min, after which tidal volume, respirator...

The article deals with the study on content of fecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and their association insulin resistance in obese children. It was found that intestinal microflora children is characterized by changes qualitative composition increased metabolic activity microflora. A moderate increase HOMA-IR accompanied elevated concentration anti-inflammatory cytokines, which correlates ac...

esophageal melanocytosis is a rare and benign condition, characterized by melanocytic proliferation of the esophageal squamous epithelium with heavy melanin deposition. the etiology and pathogenesis has not been exactly known but it seems to be a chronic stimulus such as gastroesophageal reflux. this condition is very rare and about 35 cases have been reported so far, most of which have been fr...
