“…The following microorganisms have been previously shown to be associated with periodontal disease: Abiotrophia elegans (64,65), Bacteroides-like (66), Dialister (67,68,69), Filifactor alocis (70,71,72,73,74), Fusobacterium nucleatum (15,42,75,76,77,78), Granulicatella elegans (79), Haemophilus (70,80,81), Haemophilus segnis (82,83) Megasphaera (4,84), Mogibacterium (85,86), Staphylococcus epidermidis (87), Tannerella forsythia (71,77,89,90). These findings support our findings that these microorganisms are signatures of periodontitis in the human oral microbiome.…”
