Bacterial diversity in primary infected root canals of a Chinese cohort: analysis of 16 S rDNA sequencing.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To characterize the bacterial community in the primarily infected root canals.

Methods

A total of 13 samples were collected from the primarily infected root canals. 16 S rDNA sequencing was performed to define bacterial community. Taxonomic annotation, bacterial hierarchical structures, community richness and diversity, and inter-subject variability of the bacterial community in the root canal samples were analyzed. Gender, age, and duration of the toothache-specific bacterial community associated with the patient groups were analyzed.

Results

A total of 359 Species were annotated and identified in the whole study cohort. The Alpha diversity analysis showed that the species diversity and detection rate of the 13 samples were high, which reflected the authentic
