Differences in the Bacteriome of Smokeless Tobacco Products with Different Oral Carcinogenicity: Compositional and Predicted Functional Analysis

Abstract: Smokeless tobacco (ST) products vary significantly in their oral carcinogenicity. Much is known about the differences in chemical, but not bacterial, constituents of these products. In this study, we explore the composition and function of the bacteriome in ST products from 4 countries using q-PCR and 16S rRNA-based next generation sequencing. The bacterial load (16S rRNA copies/gram) was lowest in Swedish snus (3.4E+6) and highest in Yemeni shammah (6.6E+11). A total of 491 species-level taxa, many of which a… Show more

“…16S rRNA gene library preparation and sequencing were done at the Australian Center for Ecogenomics (Brisbane, Australia) as detailed previously (Al-Hebshi et al, 2017a). Briefly, the V1-3 region was amplified using the degenerate primers 27FYM (Frank et al, 2008) and 519R (Lane et al, 1985) in standard PCR conditions.…”
