This document summarizes a lecture on the human oral microbiota. It defines oral microbiota as the microorganisms residing in the oral cavity. The oral cavity hosts a diverse ecosystem of microbes, including streptococcus, actinomyces, and fusobacterium species. These microbes colonize different oral sites as the oral environment changes with age. The microbiota exists in a symbiotic relationship with the host, but imbalances can lead to diseases like caries and periodontitis. Maintaining a balanced oral microbiota is important for both oral and general health.
