Abstract:

The human microbiome project promoted further understanding on human oral microbes. Besides oral diseases such as dental caries, periodontal disease, and oral cancer, oral microbes are closely associated with systematic diseases. They have a close connection with digestive system diseases and even contribute to the origination and progression of colorectal cancer. By reviewing recent studies involving oral microbe-related digestive systemic diseases, we aim to propose the con-siderable role of oral microbes in relation to digestive systemic diseases and the way of oral microbes to multiple organs of digestive system.

Key words: oral microbes, oral microbiota, digestive system disease, microbiome
