Inflammatory Bacteriome Featuring <em>Fusobacterium nucleatum</em> and <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa </em>Identified in Association with Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma<strong></strong>
Abstract:Abstract:Studies on the possible association between bacteria and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remain inconclusive, largely due to methodological variations/limitations. The objective of this study was to characterize the species composition as well as functional attributes of the bacteriome associated with OSCC. DNA obtained from 20 fresh OSCC biopsies (cases) and 20 deep-epithelium swabs (matched control subjects) were sequenced for the V1-V3 region using Illumina's 2x300 bp chemistry.
