The oral cavity contains a site-specific microbiota that interacts with host cells to regulate many physiological processes in the human body. Emerging evidence has suggested that changes in the oral microbiota can increase the risk of lung cancer (LC), and the oral microbiota is also altered in patients with LC. Human and animal studies have shown that oral microecological disorders and/or specific oral bacteria may play an active role in the occurrence and development of LC through direct and/or indirect mechanisms. These studies support the potential of oral microbiota in the clinical treatment of LC. Oral microbiota may therefore be used in the prevention and treatment of LC and to improve the side effects of anticancer therapy by regulating the balance of the oral microbiome. Specific oral microbiota in LC may also be used as screening or predictive biomarkers. This review summarizes the main findings in research on oral microbiome-related LC and discusses current challenges and future research directions.

Background: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a prevalent vaginal condition among reproductive-age women, characterized by off-white, thin vaginal discharge with a fishy odor. It increases susceptibility to sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). BV involves a shift in vaginal microbiota, with reduced lactobacilli and increased anaerobic bacteria.

Objective: To document differences in the microbiota of healthy cats versus cats with urethral obstruction (UO); compare the urinary microbiota with the oral, preputial, and rectal microbiota; and demonstrate that 16S rRNA gene sequencing will reveal rich and diverse urinary microbiota.

Methods: 15 client-owned cats with UO and 15 age-matched healthy cats were included from July 2020 through April 2021. Exclusion criteria were evidence of urinary tract infection, urolithiasis, antimicrobial administration, urinary catheterization in the past 30 days, or a comorbidity.

Cell wall components of gut commensal bacteria stimulate peritrophic matrix formation in malaria vector mosquitoes through activation of the IMD pathway.

The peritrophic matrix (PM) acts as a physical barrier that influences the vector competence of mosquitoes. We have previously shown that gut microbiota promotes PM formation in Anopheles stephensi, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we identify that the cell wall components of gut commensal bacteria contribute to PM formation.

Aim: Comparing oral and gut microbiome profiles between patients with and without ulcerative mucositis during allogeneic stem cell transplantation (aSCT).

Materials And Methods: Specimens from oral mucosa, saliva, and stool were collected pre-(T0) and post- (T0 +28d ± 14d) aSCT (T1). Microbiome structure differences were analyzed by 16S-rRNA-gene sequencing, and associations to patients' clinical characteristics were investigated.
