A healthy oral microbiome, a community of microorganisms live in the mouth, plays an important role in aiding in the digestion of food, immune system support and protecting against invading pathogens.

The composition of the "oral microbiome" differs over a range of subsistence strategies -- from nomadic hunter gatherers to farmers to industrialized groups.

The research team at Penn State includes Meera Gupta , undergraduate student at the time of the research.

The team also includes Yoshina Gautam , Ahmed Shibl , and Aashish Jha from New York University , Abu Dhabi , and Diana Proctor from University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston .

Funding from the National Institutes of Health and Stanford University supported this work.
