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
