This study aimed to compare the microbiome and proteome profiles of saliva, serum and all periodontal sites in patients with periodontitis. Saliva, serum, gingival crevicular fluid and subgingival plaque were obtained from three patients with stage III, grade C periodontitis. Quantitative proteomics were performed for proteome analysis of saliva, serum and gingival crevicular fluid, whereas shotgun whole genome sequencing was performed for microbiome analysis in saliva, serum and plaque.
