Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
An orally induced bacteremia is measured after brushing (after 30 seconds). For this purpose, the oral microbiom of the saliva is measured by means of a dorsal tongue smear before brushing the teeth. This is then compared with the microbiom of the blood after brushing. A blood sampling is carried out after brushing the teeth.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The microbiom in the blood, triggered by bacteremia by brushing, correlates with the oral microbiome of a dorsal tongue swab.
