TL;DR: An extensive literature on khat providing information about its history, botany, production, geographical distribution, chemistry and pharmacology, and exploring the social, economic, medical, psychological and oral aspects related to its use is provided.

TL;DR: Functional prediction showed that genes involved in bacterial mobility, flagellar assembly, bacterial chemotaxis and LPS synthesis were enriched in the tumors while those responsible for DNA repair and combination, purine metabolism, phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis, ribosome biogenesis and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis were significantly associated with the controls.

TL;DR: A critical analysis of and an update on the association between bacteria and oral carcinogenesis and the possible mechanisms underlying it are provided.

TL;DR: Functionally, proinflammatory bacterial attributes, including lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis and peptidases, were enriched in the OSCC tissues, substantiating evidence for the inflammatory nature of the bacteriome associated with OSCC.

TL;DR: A robust algorithm for species-level classification of NGS reads from oral samples is developed and pilot test it for profiling bacteria within OSCC tissues, ensuring reliable classification by giving priority to the human, oral reference set.
