Abstract
The oral cavity harbors hundreds of microbial species that are present either as planktonic cells or incorporated into biofilms. The majority of the oral microbes are commensal organisms. Those that are pathogenic microbes can result in oral infections, and at times can initiate systemic diseases. Biofilms that contain pathogens are challenging to control. Many conventional antimicrobials have proven to be ineffective. Recent advances in science and technology are providing new approaches for pathogen control and containment and methods to characterize biofilms. This perspective provides (1) a general understanding of biofilm development; (2) a description of emerging chemical and biological methods to control oral biofilms; and (3) an overview of high-throughput analytical approaches to analyze biofilms.

期刊介绍:
High-Throughput (formerly Microarrays, ISSN 2076-3905) is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed scientific journal that provides an advanced forum for the publication of studies reporting high-dimensional approaches and developments in Life Sciences, Chemistry and related fields. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results based on high-throughput techniques as well as computational and statistical tools for data analysis and interpretation. The full experimental or methodological details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. High-Throughput invites submissions covering several topics, including, but not limited to: -Microarrays -DNA Sequencing -RNA Sequencing -Protein Identification and Quantification -Cell-based Approaches -Omics Technologies -Imaging -Bioinformatics -Computational Biology/Chemistry -Statistics -Integrative Omics -Drug Discovery and Development -Microfluidics -Lab-on-a-chip -Data Mining -Databases -Multiplex Assays
