Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following recent scientific findings in the molecular microbiology field, the oral microbiota, i.e., the complex and dynamic microbial community resident in the oral cavity, has been found to represent a sine qua non-condition for oral health as well as the emergence of degenerative systemic diseases such as digestive apparatus diseases, articular diseases, cancer, and neuronal illnesses. In this context, this Special Issue aims to serve as an exhaustive collection of new scientific data and ideas about the role of this human microbial tissue, in the fields of oral pathology, systemic diseases, and laboratory diagnosis. Indeed, a greater biological understanding and novel analytical approaches could be effective clinical management strategies for the major current degenerative diseases associated with oral microbiota.
Dr. Giovanna Mosaico ([email protected]) and Dr. Cinzia Casuis ([email protected]) are serving as research assistants and will assist Professor Germano Orrù in managing this issue.
Prof. Dr. Germano Orru
