Investigation of the Effect of Type 2 Diabetes on Subgingival Plaque Microbiota in Periodontitis Patients by High-Throughput 16S rDNA Sequencing
Periodontitis is a major diabetes complication. However, it is unclear how diabetes affects the microbial composition of subgingival plaque. Previous studies suffered from either low-resolution or biased detection of subgingival plaque bacteria. We applied culture-independent 16S rDNA sequencing to examine the subgingival plaque bacteria community in type 2 diabetic patients.
