Abstract

Obesity is accumulation of excessive fat in an adipose tissue that leads to deleterious effects on the body. The oral microbiota may have a correlation with the obesity. Present study was performed to correlate oral microflora and obesity. A total of 100 saliva samples were collected, 50 from obese and 50 from non-obese individuals. The samples were processed according to the standard protocol for DNA extraction through GeneJet Genomic Purification Kit. The extracted DNA were proceeded to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing.
