NewsOral microbiome varies with life stress and mental health symptoms in pregnant women
The number and type of microbes present in the saliva of pregnant women differ according to whether they are experiencing life stress and symptoms of anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), finds a study published in the open access journal BMJ Mental Health. Although several studies ...

NewsNew imaging approach lifts lid on microbial adhesive interactions
Scientists have identified many types of bacteria in the mouth, but many problems remain in understanding how they work with one another. One of the problems is that microbes assemble themselves into densely packed multi-species biofilms. Their density and complexity pose acute difficulties for visualizing individual cells and analyzing their ...

NewsScientists identify possible new transmission factor in hospital-acquired Klebsiella infections
The dangerous multidrug resistant (MDR) pathogen, Klebsiella, thrives under nutrient-deprived polymicrobial community conditions found in hospital environments, a new study reveals.
-
NewsScientists map role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in chemotherapy resistance
A new paper describes how the bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis interferes with chemotherapy-induced mitophagy, allowing oral cancer tumors to become resistant to the drug’s effects.

NewsCommonly used alcohol-based mouthwash brand disrupts the balance of oral microbiome
Researchers have identified a significant change in composition and abundance of bacteria in study participants’ oral microbiomes after using a popular brand of alcohol-based mouthwash.
-
NewsMatcha mouthwash inhibits bacteria that causes periodontitis
Matcha, a finely ground green tea powder, may help inhibit the growth of Porphyromonas gingivalis, one of the chief bacterial culprits behind periodontitis.
-
NewsResearchers conduct first-ever study to characterize microbiota in saliva of weaned piglets on commercial farms in Brazil
The results show that oral fluid bacteria differ from fecal and environmental bacteria. Identification of these microorganisms can help diagnose infectious diseases and improve pork production.
-
NewsGut microbiome continually evolves as pregnancy progresses
A new study reveals the patterns of microbial dysbiosis associated with different pregnancy complications, providing an theoretical basis for elucidating the baseline characteristics of the microbiome in pregnant women.
-
NewsScientists discover new phage resistance mechanism in phage-bacterial arms race
Sscientists exploring the complex interactions of microbes in the oral microbiome discovered a new player influencing the phage-bacterial arms race – ultrasmall bacterial parasites, called Saccharibacteria or TM7.
