Ashu Sharma, Ph.D
Department of Oral Biology
The human oral cavity is a highly diverse ecosytem containing more than 500 species of bacteria, including both cultivable and non-cultivable species. It is believed that existence of a select few Gram-negative anaerobes, known as the ‘red-complex’, is responsible for periodontitis or gum-associated More...
