eHOMD provides comprehensive curated information on bacteria in the human mouth and aerodigestive tract. Of the 836 taxa in the database, 547 are primarily oral and 45 primarily nasal. Including secondary as well as primary sites, 557 taxa are oral and 74 taxa are nasal. Of the oral taxa, 64.6% are named, 12.8% unnamed but cultivated and 22.6% are known only as uncultivated phylotypes. View the full statistics here. eHOMD taxonomy provides a provisional naming scheme for the currently unnamed taxa, based on both genomic and 16S rRNA sequence phylogeny, so that strain, clone and probe data from any laboratory can be directly linked to a stably named reference scheme.
