Oral Microbiology - Study of microorganisms in the mouth - Includes bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa - Plays a role in oral health and disease - Dental plaque is a common oral microbiota - Oral microbiota can be affected by diet and oral hygiene

Bacterial Vaginosis Microbiota - Bacterial vaginosis is a common vaginal infection - Characterised by an imbalance in vaginal microbiota - Prevotella intermedia is a common bacteria associated with bacterial vaginosis - Other bacteria, such as Gardnerella vaginalis, are also commonly found - Bacterial vaginosis can lead to complications if left untreated

Prevotella intermedia - Prevotella intermedia is a bacteria species - Found in various parts of the body, including the oral cavity and vagina - Can contribute to the development of periodontal diseases - Some strains of Prevotella intermedia produce virulence factors - Research is ongoing to better understand its role in infections

Capnocytophaga sp. - Capnocytophaga is a genus of bacteria - Belongs to the phylum Bacteroidota - Some species can cause infections in humans - Capnocytophaga can be found in the oral cavity and respiratory tract - The bacteria can be transmitted through animal bites or close contact with pets
