  "summary": "The oral cavity contains multiple microbial sub-niches, but which taxa consistently play an ecologically important, health-associated role within each niche, and how conserved they are across populations, remains poorly understood, partly due to the lack of a standardised identification framework. We developed a multi-cohort framework integrating 37,739 oral microbiome profiles (16S rRNA and…",
