Now completely up to date and featuring a new international author team, Marsh and Martin's Oral Microbiology, 7th Edition, remains the microbiology reference of choice for undergraduate and postgraduate dental students, researchers and a wide range of clinical dental professionals. Using a unique ecological approach, this popular textbook describes the complex relationship between the resident oral microbiome and the host in health and disease, providing 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.

Explores the biological and clinical significance of the oral microbiota in the form of a biofilm on dental and mucosal surfaces
Emphasises current concepts on the aetiology of dental caries and periodontal diseases, and reflects upon the impact that the genomic era has had on the field.
Contains a new chapter describing traditional and contemporary (molecular) methods to determine the microbial composition and metabolic activity of the oral microbiome; expanded content on infection control in dentistry, including the impact of COVID-19; and in-depth chapters on the involvement of viruses, fungi and bacteria in orofacial infections and the role of oral microorganisms in systemic diseases.
Features a visually appealing, full-colour design and Key Points throughout that help make learning more focused and efficient
Includes self-assessment questions in each chapter that allow you to monitor your progress and identify areas for further study
An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud

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).
