New edition of a highly popular textbook on oral microbiology suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate dental students, research workers, and a wide range of clinical dental professionals
Successfully describes the complex relationship between the resident oral microbiota and the host in health and disease
Retains a unique ecological approach to the subject which provides a clear set of principles to explain whether the microbiota will have a beneficial or an adverse relationship with the host at a particular site
Exploration of the biological and clinical significance of the oral microbiota in the form of a biofilm on dental and mucosal surfaces
Completely updated throughout by a new author team!
Self-assessment questions in each chapter allow readers to monitor their progress
Updated design with 'Key Points' throughout aids learning
Reflects the impact that the genomic era has had on the field
Expanded sections on infection control as well as therapeutic and prophylactic antibiotic use
New sections on the benefits of the resident oral microbiota and on current concepts of factors driving dysbiosis in periodontal disease
New chapter on the emerging role of oral microorganisms in systemic diseases

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Dr. Williams currently leads the Oral Microbiology Group based at the School of Dentistry, at Cardiff University, Cardiff, UK. Since Dr. Williams' first degree (Cardiff University), he has worked in the pharmaceutical industry, food microbiology and as an academic researcher. Having completed a PhD at the School of Dentistry in Cardiff on the immunopathogenesis of oral candidosis, Dr. Williams' research has continued within Cardiff University and primarily focuses within the field of Clinical Microbiology with an emphasis on studies involving microbial biofilms. Dr. Williams' research encompasses investigating biofilm susceptibility to antimicrobial agents, expression of virulence factors such as hydrolytic enzyme production, adhesion, and microbial modulation of innate immune responses. Of particular interest has been research into the development of biomaterials (e.g. silicone rubber, acrylic, titanium) to inhibit biofilm formation on medical devices. Dr. Williams is a previous recipient of the Senior Colgate Award (British Society for Oral and Dental Research) and the International Hatton Award (The International Association for Dental Research).
