Core of the saliva microbiome: an analysis of the MG-RAST data.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Oral microbiota is considered as the second most complex in the human body and its dysbiosis can be responsible for oral diseases. Interactions between the microorganism communities and the host allow establishing the microbiological proles. Identifying the core microbiome is essential to predicting diseases and changes in environmental behavior from microorganisms.

Methods

Projects containing the term "SALIVA", deposited between 2014 and 2019 were recovered on the MG-RAST portal. Quality (Failed), taxonomic prediction (Unknown and Predicted), species richness (Rarefaction), and species diversity (Alpha) were analyzed according to sequencing approaches (Amplicon sequencing and Shotgun metagenomics). All data were checked for normality and homoscedasticity. Metagen
