Abstract

The oral cavity hosts diverse microorganisms essential for health, with over 700 species identified. These organisms colonize various surfaces within the mouth, influencing oral and systemic health. Bacteriocins from bacteria aid microbial competition. Environmental factors shape the oral microbiome, impacting immune function and health. Disruptions can lead to diseases, emphasizing the importance of maintaining oral hygiene and health.
