Tropheryma whippelii DNA in saliva of healthy people

S Street et al. Lancet. .

Abstract

In a random sample of 40 healthy people, 35% showed evidence of Tropheryma whippelii DNA in their saliva. Consistent detection of T. whippelii DNA on repeated sampling suggests that this organism can be an oral commensal.
