Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It has recently been reported that gut microbiome dysbiosis is strongly related to the outbreak or development of cancers and other systemic diseases. There is legitimate concern that oral microbiome dysbiosis is one of the causes of gut microbiome dysbiosis. However, oral microbiome dysbiosis has not been clearly defined due to the lack of understanding of what factors constitute a healthy oral microbiome. Indeed, ambiguous and insufficient information on healthy oral microbiomes have made it difficult to compare disease cohorts among studies.
To improve the understanding of oral microbiome dysbiosis, this Special Issue seeks research papers on various aspects of a healthy oral microbiome. We encourage the submission of cohort studies that focus on a healthy oral microbiome, which may be based on diverse factors such as the individual, age, gender, diet, habits, and various conditions. We also accept comparison studies that include a healthy control group. Furthermore, we welcome the submission of oral microbiome studies utilizing any type of omics analysis that would enrich our information on what constitutes “a Healthy Oral Microbiome.”
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Microorganisms.
