Butyrate as a Potential Driver of a Dysbiotic Shift of the Tongue Microbiota

Butyrate as a Potential Driver of a Dysbiotic Shift of the Tongue Microbiota

ABSTRACT The tongue dorsum is colonized by a stable microbiota, mostly comprising common commensal taxa. However, the predominance of each taxon varies among individuals. We hypothesized that equilibrium in the tongue microbiota is affected by exposure to butyrate in the oral fluid, which is reporte...
