[Thu-P1-055] Influence of fermented food consumption on taste and oral microbiota of rats

2022

Oral microbiota varies throughout the individual’s life. These changes are due to several factors (environmental, physiological, lifestyle...) that shape its diversity and composition. However, little is known about the physiological impact of this persistence. Taste perception is one of the possible targeted functions. Indeed, our team has recently established relationships between oral microbiota and taste sensitivity in humans. The objective of this work was to see if fermented food bacteria were able to persist in the oral cavity and consequently influence the oral microbiota and the taste by using a rodent experimental design: two groups of rats (n=27/group) were fed for 3 weeks with e…
