Oral Microbiology Scholarly Peer-review Journal

Some of the most common infectious diseases of the mouth, for instance tooth caries and periodontitis, are distributed worldwide. Health authorities spend huge sums of money annually to treat these diseases, which cause much pain and discomfort globally. New techniques in the field of microbiology have made it possible for us to understand why and how the diseases develop; however, we still need to extend our knowledge and understanding of aetiology, diagnosis and treatment to be able to combat them. It is true that a great deal has already been achieved to prevent oral infections, but they are by no means eradicated. In fact, despite all our efforts they continue to thrive in all societies causing great harm.Oral diseases have traditionally been related to a limited number of aetiologic agents. The reason for this is that culture has been used to demonstrate these agents. However, only 50% of the 700 different bacteria in the mouth are detected by culture. JOM looks to publish papers demonstrating the full breadth of the oral microflora, and particularly papers indicating the aetiologic role of uncultivable organisms and their microbial/host interactions. Bacteria, viruses, yeasts or protozoa are in focus.
