摘要: Aims: To isolate bacteriophages lytic for oral pathogens from human saliva, dental plaque and mature biofilms constituted saliva-derived bacteria.Methods Results: Saliva samples healthy volunteers patients with gingivitis periodontitis were examined the presence of bacteriophage using a panel bacteria isolated samples. Samples also enriched static culture techniques biofilms. A limited number contained particles that visualized electron microscopy. Cultures yielded phage infecting non-oral (Proteus mirabilis) but no specific recognized found. Some micro-organisms microflora elaborated antibacterial substances inhibited growth other residents cavity.Conclusions: Unlike ecosystems, composition cavity does not appear to be heavily influenced by interactions between their hosts.Significance Impact Study: Bacteriophage control infections may need obtained sources. Antibacterial derived some members warrant investigation as potential antibiotics.
