Description
Ludovic Nunes Correia, Adelina Correia, and Lucinda Bessa reviewed in 2026 the oral resistome, the full set of antibiotic resistance genes carried by microbes in the mouth. Drug resistance is a top global health threat, and the mouth holds one of the body's most diverse microbial communities. Its resistance genes have been little studied compared with the gut.
The review covers the scale of resistance, what the oral set contains and where it sits, and how it is shaped. It compares methods for reading it, from culture and targeted tests to shotgun DNA sequencing. It also looks at joining several omics layers to find the drivers of resistance. Profiling could guide personal dental care and smarter antibiotic use, the authors say.
