1. The Human Oral MicrobiomeJournal of Bacteriology · 2010 · 3,347 citations

   The human oral cavity contains a number of different habitats, including the teeth, gingival sulcus, tongue, cheeks, hard and soft palates, and tonsils, which are colonized by bacteria. The oral microbiome is comprised of over 600 prevalent taxa at the…

2. Defining the Normal Bacterial Flora of the Oral CavityJournal of Clinical Microbiology · 2005 · 3,134 citations

   More than 700 bacterial species or phylotypes, of which over 50% have not been cultivated, have been detected in the oral cavity. Our purposes were (i) to utilize culture-independent molecular techniques to extend our knowledge on the breadth of bacterial…

3. Bacterial Diversity in Human Subgingival PlaqueJournal of Bacteriology · 2001 · 2,031 citations

   The purpose of this study was to determine the bacterial diversity in the human subgingival plaque by using culture-independent molecular methods as part of an ongoing effort to obtain full 16S rRNA sequences for all cultivable and not-yet-cultivated species of…
