Microbial Community Analysis of Saliva and Biopsies in Patients With Oral Lichen Planus.

ABSTRACT: The specific etiology and pathogenesis of oral lichen planus (OLP) remain elusive, and microbial dysbiosis may play an important role in OLP. We evaluated the saliva and tissue bacterial community of patients with OLP and identified the colonization of bacteria in OLP tissues. The saliva (n = 60) and tissue (n = 24) samples from OLP patients and the healthy controls were characterized by 16S rDNA gene sequencing and the bacterial signals in OLP tissues were detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) targeting the bacterial 16S rDNA gene. Results indicate that the OLP tissue microbiome was different from the microbiota of OLP saliva. Compared with the healthy controls, Capnocytophaga and Gemella were higher in OLP saliva, while Escherichia-Shigella and Megasphaera were higher in
