Understanding the bacterial compositional network associations between oral and gut microbiome within healthy Koreans.

ABSTRACT: Oral microbial ecosystem could influence intestinal diseases, but there have been insufficient studies demonstrating the association of microbial composition between the oral cavity and the intestinal system. Thus, we aimed to investigate the compositional network within the oral microbiome related to gut enterotype from saliva and stool samples collected from 112 healthy Korean subjects. Here, we performed bacterial 16S amplicon sequencing from clinical samples. Then, we determined oral microbiome type related to individual's gut enterotype for healthy Korean. The co-occurrence analysis was performed to interactivity prediction of microbiome within saliva samples. As a result, it could be classified into two Korean oral microbiome types (KO) and four oral-gut-associated microbiome types (
