Measuring the Migration and Biofilm Formation of Various Bacteria

As microbes that thrive in the host body primarily have adaptive abilities that facilitate their survival, methods for classifying and identifying their ...

The microbiome is a collection of genomes from microbiota, including all microorganisms in a niche, through direct and indirect interactions with the host. Certain microorganisms can exist in areas conventionally considered to be sterile, such as the bone matrix. Osseous microbiota dysbiosis caused by host-microbiome perturbation or external infections may ultimately lead to osteomyelitis, a bone inflammatory disorder. Our review covers the current discoveries on the impact of host-microbiome on osteomyelitis and some common osseous diseases. Some studies suggest that the microbiotas from both osseous and non-osseous tissues (e.g., blood or gut) impact the pathogenicity of osteomyelitis and other osseous diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis). We believe that this review will provide readers with a better understanding on the role of the microbiome to the host's bone health.
