Real-time flow cytometry to assess qualitative and quantitative responses of oral pathobionts during exposure to antiseptics Open
Antiseptics are widely used in oral healthcare to prevent or treat oral diseases, such as gingivitis and periodontitis. However, the incidence of bacteria being tolerant to standard antiseptics has sharply increased over the last few years…

Antimicrobial potential of known and novel probiotics on in vitro periodontitis biofilms Open
Several oral diseases are characterized by a shift within the oral microbiome towards a pathogenic, dysbiotic composition. Broad spectrum antimicrobials are often part of their treatment. However, with the rising antibiotic resistance, alt…

NONSTEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS AS THERAPEUTIC ALLIES OF THE GUT MICROBIOME ON CHRONIC INFLAMMATION Open
Our gut harbours around 1014 bacteria of more than 1000 species, accounting for approximately 2 kg of biomass. The gut microbiome plays several vital functions in processes such as the development of the immune system, food digestion and p…
