Key Points: 


It’s normal to have bacteria in your mouth. But harmful bacteria have been linked to a host of health problems. Medical scientist Glenda Davison and microbiologist Yvonne Prince, who have researched the oral cavity, explain why it’s so important to practise good oral hygiene.

Can poor oral hygiene lead to serious diseases? Why and how?

    • Abnormal bacterial communities in the oral cavity have been linked to liver disease, renal failure, cancers, heart disease and hypertension.
    • The oral cavity is the door to the gastrointestinal tract and the rest of the body.
    • This can lead to bleeding gums and oral diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis.

How do problems in the mouth lead to other illnesses?

    • This disruption in the oral biota causes inflammation and the slow development of periodontitis, bleeding gums and tooth decay.
    • As the gum disease destroys the gum and begins to erode the bone, inflammatory molecules called cytokines can enter the blood stream.
    • Read more:
      Microbiome: certain gut microbes may warn of Alzheimer's disease long before the first symptoms begin

Where do bacteria in the body come from?

    • There are 39 trillion microbes in the human body, outnumbering the estimated 30 trillion human cells, and they inhabit almost every organ and crevice in the human body.
    • They can be found in the gut, skin, lung, seminal and vaginal fluid, eyes, scalp and mouth.
    • Most of these microbes come from our mothers and enter our bodies when we are born.

What should people do to avoid these risks?

    • To further support the balance of the bacteria in the mouth it is recommended that foods rich in antioxidants, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, are included in our diet.
    • Dentists also recommend avoiding the use of antibacterial mouth washes, which have been shown to disrupt the balance of microbes.
    • Elevated levels of stress and lack of exercise have also been linked to disruptions in the balance of the oral biota.

There's a thriving global market in turtles, and much of that trade is illegal

In August 2023, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released an advisory about an 11-state outbreak of salmonella bacteria linked to pet turtles.

Key Points: 
  • In August 2023, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released an advisory about an 11-state outbreak of salmonella bacteria linked to pet turtles.
  • Global trade in turtles is big business, and the U.S. is a leading source, destination and transit country.
  • I also use the global wildlife trade to teach important ecological concepts and research skills.
  • Here’s what we know about trade in turtles and how it threatens their survival.

Life in the slow lane

    • Most turtles reach reproductive maturity late in life and have relatively few eggs, not all of which produce successful offspring.
    • To put this in context, compare a common female snapping turtle from the northern U.S. with a female white-tailed deer.
    • It can take a female turtle her entire life to generate one or two offspring that in turn reach adulthood and replace her in the population.
    • Terrapins reside in brackish water zones, where rivers flow into oceans and bays, and feed heavily on snails.

In global demand

    • Today, people use turtles as pets; sources of food, jewelry and other curios; and in traditional medicines and religious and cultural practices.
    • Fish and Wildlife Service, nearly 127 million turtles were exported just from the U.S. between 2002 and 2012.
    • There’s no good way to quantify how many native turtles are harvested from the wild.
    • Historic demand for sea turtles, diamondback terrapins and snapping turtles as food led to such crashes in populations that management agencies had to regulate their harvesting.
    • To curb pressure on wild populations, state agencies are prohibiting or limiting personal collection and possession of native turtles.

Black market turtles

    • For example, in 2019 a Pennsylvania man was sentenced to six months in prison and fined $250,000 for trafficking thousands of protected diamondback terrapins.
    • Rare species such as wood turtles and Blanding’s turtles, as well as uniquely patterned individual turtles, command top value on the black market.
    • Between 1998 and 2021, U.S. enforcement agencies intercepted at least 24,000 protected freshwater turtles and tortoises from 34 native species that were being illegally traded across the U.S.

How to help


    To curtail the illegal turtle trade, regulators are working to strengthen regulations and increase enforcement. Private citizens can also help reduce the demand and protect wild turtles. Here are some simple steps:
