The oral cavity is another significant microbiome, consisting of several microenvironments that harbour diverse beneficial bacterial populations, including the tongue, the hard and soft palate, teeth and gums.
The warm and moist environment in the mouth enables the growth of many microorganisms, offering host-derived nutrients such as saliva, proteins and glycoproteins. A relatively newly discovered strain of bacteria, A12, has been shown to prevent tooth decay by targeting Streptococcus mutans, an anaerobic bacterium found to be a significant contributor to tooth decay.
A12 produces hydrogen peroxide which subsequently targets the cell walls of S. Secondly, A12 inhibits two intracellular signalling pathways of the pathogen, leaving the bacterium unable to settle into a biofilm due to the inability to send and receive chemical messages. In conclusion, the microbiota-host relationships discussed throughout this article are the product of thousands of years of coevolution.
Research has indicated that microorganisms serve many beneficial functions in the human body; they are involved in the fermentation of indigestible food, synthesis of vitamins and indeed protection against harmful pathogens. Although there is constant research into destroying microorganisms, it is of great value to consider whether such treatments are in fact harming beneficial microbiota, for it is certain that humans could not have evolved to their current sophistication without the microorganisms living within the human body.

Fermentation of Indigestible Food The human gastrointestinal tract is home to a complex microbial community that is characterised by its extensive diversity and complex interactions.
Synthesising Vitamins Vitamins are inorganic compounds that are essential for the maintenance of good health and metabolism. Colonisation Resistance Interestingly, one of the key ways in which the microbes in the gut protect the human body is by occupying spaces that could otherwise be colonised by harmful pathogens.
