The composition of the bacteria found in liver, spleen, oral cavity and fecal samples of mice subjected to an experimental periodontitis model
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Periodontitis patients often develop bacteremia, but there has been little evidence showing that oral bacteria translocate into other organs. We found that bacterial colony formation occurs in a culture of liver and spleen cells of periodontitis-induced mice, and the bacterial species detected in the liver and spleen were found in the oral cavity as well, but not in fecal samples, indicating systemic dissemination of oral bacteria during the breakdown of the oral barrier.
