Outline of Final Research Achievements

There are few reports about the role of oral microbiota on the human health and systemic diseases. We, therefore, investigated roles of infection of high-virulent oral bacteria on the development of serious systemic diseases such as stroke, cardiovascular, and digestive diseases. Relationships between the prevalence of several high-virulent bacteria and several systemic diseases were observed. According to the exhaustive analysis of oral flora using next generation sequencer, different patterns of oral flora between the healthy subjects and the subjects with various chronic diseases were observed. These results indicate that the balance of total composition of oral flora might be important for maintenance of human health condition. Further investigations will provide us the important knowledge to predict and prevent various systemic diseases in future.
