   * **Pancreatic cancer** – Particular types of mouth bacteria, some of which are found in gum disease, are associated with the development of pancreatic cancer, indicates a small study published online in the journal //Gut//.(({{pubmed>long:21994333}})) The authors base their findings on an initial comparison of the bacteria found in the spit of 10 patients with pancreatic cancer, which had not yet spread, and 10 healthy people, matched for age and sex. They found significant differences between the bacterial colonies in the two groups, with 31 additional species and 25 fewer species in the spit of the cancer patients. They then checked spit samples from a further 28 pancreatic cancer patients and 28 healthy people to verify their findings. And they checked tissue samples from 28 patients with chronic inflammation of the pancreas (chronic pancreatitis), which is associated with an increased risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Among six suspicious species, two -- //Neisseria elongata// and //Streptococcus mitis// -- showed up significantly less often in the mouths of the cancer patients than in those of their healthy peers, while levels of another species -- //Granulicatella adjacens// -- were significantly higher. The combination of //N. elongata// and //S. mitis// accurately differentiated between healthy patients and those with cancer in more than 80% cases. Furthermore, they found similar differences in the prevalence of //S. mitis// and //G. adjacens// between the chronic pancreatitis samples and the spit of healthy people.   * **Pancreatic cancer** – Particular types of mouth bacteria, some of which are found in gum disease, are associated with the development of pancreatic cancer, indicates a small study published online in the journal //Gut//.(({{pubmed>long:21994333}})) The authors base their findings on an initial comparison of the bacteria found in the spit of 10 patients with pancreatic cancer, which had not yet spread, and 10 healthy people, matched for age and sex.

   * **obesity** – A 2011 cross-sectional study of obese adolescents versus normal weight subjects collected saliva performed a metagenomic analysis on that saliva. The study found that obese subjects had //Campylobacter rectus// and //Neisseria mucosa// in sixfold higher amounts than controls.[cite needed]((Microbiota in the Oral Subgingival Biofilm))   * **obesity** – A 2011 cross-sectional study of obese adolescents versus normal weight subjects collected saliva performed a metagenomic analysis on that saliva.

-  * **joint failure** – DNA testing of bacteria in synovial fluid, which lubricates hip and knee joints, had bacteria with the same DNA as the plaque from patients with gum disease and in need of a joint replacement.(({{pubmed>long:22426587}}))  +  * **joint failure** – In a study of 36 patients with hip or knee joint failure, bacterial DNA from the synovial fluid was found to match microbial DNA from periodontal tissue in five patients.(({{pubmed>long:22426587}}))
