Transition of Bacterial Diversity and Composition in Tongue Microbiota during the First Two Years of Life

ABSTRACT Newborns are constantly exposed to various microbes from birth; hence, diverse commensal bacteria colonize the oral cavity. However, how or when these bacteria construct a complex and stable ecosystem remains unclear. This prospective cohort study examined the temporal changes in bacterial...
