Oral bacteria defined

For the first time, scientists have defined the bacteria that inhabit multiple sites along the healthy human digestive tract in a large number of individuals.
As part of the Human Microbiome Project, a Forsyth Institute-led team examined bacteria found in adults at 10 sites along the digestive tract, including seven mouth surfaces, the tonsils, the throat, and stool samples (Genome Biology, June 13, 2012).
The bacterial communities from these 10 sites separated into four types based on which bacteria were present. This work will provide a valuable reference for future scientific study/ investigations.
