Compositional Stability of a Salivary Bacterial Population against Supragingival Microbiota Shift following Periodontal Therapy

Abstract: Supragingival plaque is permanently in contact with saliva. However, the extent to which the microbiota contributes to the salivary bacterial population remains unclear. We compared the compositional shift in the salivary bacterial population with that in supragingival plaque following periodontal therapy. Samples were collected from 19 patients with periodontitis before and after periodontal therapy (mean sample collection interval, 25.8±2.6 months), and their bacterial composition was investigated using barc… Show more

“…[7] Salivary microbiome has been reported to have higher richness and diversity compared with gingival plaque microbiome, and to be less susceptible to changes in periodontal conditions. [32] Second, taxonomic classification in most metagenomic analyses is based on hypervariable sequences (V1-V9) of bacterial 16S rRNA gene. While several different primer sets are available, it has been well documented that the choice of the V regions to be amplified significantly influences the results.…”

“…DNA was extracted from each saliva sample using a bead-beating method, as previously described [19]. Total bacterial count per mL saliva was assessed with a QuantiFast SYBR Green PCR kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and a StepOne Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems) with the universal bacterial primers 806F (5′-TTAGATACCCYGGTAGTCC-3′) and 926R (5′-CCGTCAATTYCTTTGAGTTT-3′), as previously described [20].…”

“…On the other hand, several studies have demonstrated that the bacterial composition in saliva differs greatly from that of dental plaque, including both supra- and subgingival microbiota, and it is closer to that on the mucosal surfaces, such as the tongue coating [1013]. Our previous study also showed a distinction between the community structure of microbiota between supragingival plaque and saliva, as well as, the compositional stability of the salivary microbiota against a supragingival microbiota shift [14]. These facts invoke doubt about the clinical utility of a comprehensive analysis of salivary microbiota for monitoring subgingival microbiota to evaluate periodontal conditions.…”
