| Research Abstract |
It is already well known that oral health care is effective to prevent caries, periodontitis, aspiration pneumonia and other chronic diseases. We hypothesized that oral care is useful to prevent onset of influenza, and examined the status of patients with mixed infection of oral and pharyngeal bacteria by examining species, amount, and habitat distribution of bacteria.
Our final goal is to establish oral care system to prevent influenza infection by developing the easy and simple method to remove bacteria without damaging oral cavity.
