The human oral cavity harbors one of the most diverse microbial communities, consisting of hundreds 12 of bacterial species that co-exist in a finely tuned ecological balance. This intricate ecosystem, 13 collectively referred to as the oral microbiota, plays a pivotal role not only in maintaining oral 14 homeostasis but also in modulating systemic health through complex host-microbe and microbe-15 microbe interactions (Lin et al., 2024). However, when this balance is disrupted-a condition termed 16 oral microbiota dysbiosis-a shift occurs from a symbiotic to a pathogenic microbial profile. This 17 imbalance is increasingly implicated in the initiation and progression of a wide array of diseases, 18 extending far beyond the oral cavity.
