One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Microorganisms of the oral cavity

Microorganisms of the oral cavity encompass bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa that colonise the teeth, mucosa and saliva. Mastery of their normal flora, pathogenic species, and the conditions favouring disease is essential for diagnosing and managing oral infections, a core part of the NUC CCMAS/ NBTE/NCCE microbiology syllabus.
