Investigating the Link between the Oral Microbiome and Cardiovascular Health in Regards to Nitrate/Nitrite Metabolism.
… and pharmacological salt supplementation on the oral microbiome composition in hypertensive individuals. Seventy participants (50-70-y-old, clinical systolic BP (SBP) 130-159 mmHg, diastolic BP (DBP) <110 mmHg) were randomly allocated to group 1 (n = 24) consuming 300 mg/d nitrate in green leafy …

The potential for diagnosing high blood pressure at the dentist: an examination of periodontal disease and the oral microbiome in raised blood pressure.
… remains unclear, however may involve reduced oral and systemic nitric oxide (NO) availability. There remains limited research on the oral microbiome during hypertension that could support such a causative mechanism involving NO.<br/>Aims: This project aimed to examine links between periodontal …

The oral microbiota of Irish children in health and disease: a longitudinal and cross sectional study
The oral cavity harbours a very rich and diverse microbial community. In the last decade, the oral microbiota of children and adults has been studied in detail using continuously developing DNA sequencing methods. In particular focusing on the oral microbiome changes in the presence of diseases …

The association between the oral and vaginal microbiome of young South African women
… healthy bacterial communities in the vaginal and oral microbiomes respectively. Both BV and PD are associated with an increased risk of preterm labour and negative birth outcomes, yet it is unknown whether PD and BV are independent risk factors or may be interrelated. Understanding the health …

Defining Microbiome Stability in First-Degree Relatives of Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients
The microbiome is an emergent area of research focussed on understanding the intricacies of the symbiotic relationship we have with the millions of microbes in and on our bodies. The gut microbiome has been well established as a key modulator of health and disease. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) …

Metagenomic analysis of the periodontal and peri-implant microbiome: a link between health and disease status
The oral cavity has been becoming one of the most well-studied microbiomes after the introduction of new genomic technologies, including next-generation sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. Metagenomic studies of the oral microbial community have revealed the complexities of the oral cavity, that …

Analysis of Salivary Microbiota in Patients with Full-arch Implant Supported Fixed Prostheses
The oral cavity is naturally colonized by a large number of different microbial species that are in a state of equilibrium. Dysbiosis can be caused by either changes in local or systemic conditions and is associated with increased risk of caries, periodontal disease, oral cancer and systemic …

Investigating the role of host genetic polymorphisms in periodontitis susceptibility in a Western Cape population
… results from complex interactions between the oral microbiome, the host immune system, and environmental factors in susceptible individuals. The disease negatively impacts oral and general health, reducing quality of life. Periodontitis management is costly and requires skilled personnel for …

Benign, potentially malignant & malignant oral lesions; an analysis of oral and gut microbiota
Introduction: The human microbiome is widely known to be associated with health and disease. The oral microbiome has been linked with oral diseases and infections, though not many studies have explored the relation between oral and gut microbiome with oral cancer based on their histology. This …

Quorum Sensing and Virulence Regulation in Commensal and Pathogenic Bacteria
… in Streptococcus vestibularis, a member of the oral microbiome increasingly associated with systemic diseases including endocarditis, COPD, colorectal cancer, cirrhosis, type-two diabetes, and schizophrenia. This work expands current understanding of QS-mediated competence regulation, …

Mechanism of Candida Albicans Biofilm and Virulence Inhibition By A Bacterial Secreted Factor
<p>The human microbiome is a diverse polymicrobial population comprised of both fungi and bacteria. Perturbations of the normal microbiome can have a profound impact on health, including the development of infections. Exploitation of these polymicrobial interactions has the potential to provide …

The Role of Oral Nitrate Reducing Bacteria in Cardiovascular Health: Impacts of Diet and Exercise
This thesis investigated the important role of oral bacteria in blood pressure regulation and vascular function through the NO3--NO2--NO pathway following exercise or dietary interventions. Study 1 examined the effect of antibacterial mouthwash on the oral microbiome and nitrate metabolism in …

Exploring early-life microbiome transfer and therapeutic applications in bovines and humans
The microbiome consists of intricate microbial communities, including bacteria, archaea, eukarya, viruses, bacteriophages, and their associated products. These dynamic entities establish symbiotic relationships with their bovine and human hosts, exerting direct or indirect influences on physiology …

The Effect of Cognitive Status and Residency On Oral Health In Patients With Dementia
<p>Poor oral health is a predictor of cognitive decline in elderly populations and has been shown to precede dementia. As cognitive decline progresses, patients are likely to move from the community into nursing facilities. We hypothesize that severity of dementia and residency type will impact the …
