The aim of this study to evaluate the microbial profile in gastritis and healthy patients in different periodontal conditions via next generation technologies.
This study aims to determine the density of bacteria associated with periodontal disease and to evaluate oral dysbiosis in gastritis patients using metagenomic analysis.

Salivary microbial profile
To compare the oral flora profiles of the study groups, a microbiome-based next-generation sequencing approach targeting the 16S rRNA gene was employed. In this metagenomic study, following DNA extraction, phylogenetic classification was performed using the V3-V4 hypervariable regions of the 16S rRNA gene. Using the obtained data, total bacterial diversity and density were compared through alpha and beta diversity analyses. Bacterial taxa that differed between the groups were identified using LEfSe analysis.
