From Leeuwenhoek to Today: Unveiling the Secrets of the Oral Microbiome

In this episode of Microbiome Medics, Dr. Siobhan McCormack is joined by Professor Egija Zaura from the Academic Centre of Dentistry in Amsterdam to explore the significance of the oral microbiome. They discuss why the oral microbiome warrants attention alongside the gut microbiome, emphasizing its role as the body’s first defense against pathogens.

The conversation highlights the complex interactions within the oral cavity and the consequences of dysbiosis on oral health, linking it to systemic issues like diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. As practical applications are discussed, Professor Zahra shares the importance of saliva, dietary choices, and the implications of oral hygiene products on microbial diversity. The hosts encourage proactive oral health practices, translating intricate research into actionable insights for listeners.

Professor Egija Zaura has a degree in dentistry. She is University Research Chair Professor in Oral Microbial Ecology at ACTA. Her research topics span from biofilm models and clinical studies to advanced molecular technologies in oral microbial diagnostics and complex sequencing data analyses. Her current principal interests lay on oral microbial ecology at health and disease, and translating this fundamental knowledge to the clinical practice.

This podcast is presented in collaboration with the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine.
