Association of oral microbiome with oral human papillomavirus infection: a population study of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2009-2012.

Both oral microbiome alpha diversity(within-sample richness and phylogenetic diversity) and beta diversity(heterogeneous dispersion of oral microbiome community) are associated with HPV infection. Longitudinal studies are needed to characterize the role of the microbiome in the natural history of oral HPV infection.
