Functional diversity of the microbial community in healthy subjects and periodontitis patients based on sole carbon source utilization.

Functional diversity of the microbial community in healthy subjects and periodontitis patients based on sole carbon source utilization.

Chronic periodontitis is one of the most common forms of biofilm-induced diseases. Most of the recent studies were focus on the dental plaque microbial diversity and microbiomes. However, analyzing bacterial diversity at the taxonomic level alone limits deeper comprehension of the ecological relevan...
