Abstract:
Background: Genomics surveillance and characterization of pathogens have enabled prompt and accurate diagnosis, for improved management and control of infectious diseases. This study aimed to identify bacteria associated with spreading odontogenic infections (SOIs) among patients visiting the Dental Center of the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex (OAUTHC), Ile-Ife, Nigeria, by sequencing 16S rRNA gene of the bacteria.
