High throughput sequencing-based analysis of microbial diversity in dental unit waterlines supports the importance of providing safe water for clinical use
This study aims to explore the water quality of dental unit waterlines (DUWLs) and the diversity of microbial communities in DUWLs. Water samples from 33 dental chair units (DCUs) were collected, diluted and then spread on sterilized R2A plate for incubation. Subsequently, the microbial colony-formi...
