Scientists launch first comprehensive database of human oral microbiome
Date:3/26/2008

oral bacteria, the need for a comprehensive, user-friendly database has become a priority.

The oral microbiome is currently better understood than those of other sites in the body, such as the intestine, said Dr. Bruce Paster, Ph.D., also at The Forsyth Institute and another project scientist. Since oral microorganisms appear in infections throughout the human body, the HOMD database certainly will be useful to physicians. Likewise, microbiologists in industry will find HOMD helpful because oral microbes sometimes contaminate food or the drug manufacturing process.
