Plaque microbial community restructuring in rampant dental caries after exclusion of a confirmed Streptococcus mutans ASV: an analysis of public 16S rRNA sequencing data
Background: Dental caries is increasingly understood as an ecological biofilm disorder rather than the consequence of a single organism. Although Streptococcus mutans is strongly implicated in cariogenesis, it remains unclear whether caries-associated plaque-community differences persist beyond this organism. Methods: We reanalysed publicly available supragingival-plaque 16S rRNA sequencing data…
