Abstract:
Forensic science is looking for clues at a crime scene in order to reconstruct the crime scene.Classic clues include DNA and fingerprints.Forensic microbiology is a branch of forensic medicine that uses microbes as clues,providing us information about lifestyle,circadian rhythms,geographic locations,postmortem intervals,cancers,and oral or systemic diseases.Oral cavity,as the place with the second largest number of microorganisms,can provide researchers with microbial information of each ecological niche,and assist in the prediction,diagnosis and monitoring of oral or systemic diseases.This paper reviews the composition of oral microbiome,the application in oral diseases,systemic diseases and forensic medicine,with the aim of providing some references for the development of forensic microbiology based on oral microbiome.
