Juniper Publishers| Oral Surgery in the Human Microbiota Era the role of Periodontal Bacteria
Journal of Surgery - JuniperPublishers System biology and Human microbiota Recent studies have highlighted the oral cavity as a complex biological system organized into several micro and nanoscopic scales, as described by an interdisciplinary field of study using a holistic approach. In this context the recent introduction of the technology of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has shed new light on human genomics, but,more especially, has increased the knowledge of the bacterial populations normally resident in the human tissues and called microbiota. NGS, also known as high-throughput sequencing, is a procedure that is able to perform the sequencing in a few hours of both the entire human genome and also the complete profile of the ribosomal gene set or certain genes of interest related to a specific microbiota (metagenomics). Many human tissues, such as the skin, oral cavity, nose, upper air-ways, stomach, lower intestine, and the genito-urinary tract, are colonized by resident pop
