1. Normal Oral Microbiota: Rothia species are part of the normal oral microbiota. They contribute to the complex microbial community in the mouth, which plays a role in maintaining oral health.

2. Oral Health: While Rothia species are generally considered commensals, imbalances in the oral microbiota can contribute to oral health issues such as dental caries and periodontal diseases. Maintaining good oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing and flossing, helps in controlling the overall oral microbial balance.

3. Opportunistic Infections: In rare cases, Rothia species have been reported as opportunistic pathogens. Immunocompromised individuals, such as those with weakened immune systems, may be at a higher risk of developing infections associated with Rothia species. Infections can include respiratory tract infections and, less commonly, systemic infections.

Legend

• The interactions are based on data from 1000 healthy individuals using shotgun 10M reads Precision Biome, a provider in full conformity to EU regulations for health information
• The width of the lines indicates R² (the coefficient of determination)
• Green indicates positive slope
• Red indicates negative
• Interactions are not two way because incidence of each bacteria are different
