Oral malodour--a review.
Hughes FJ, McNab R. Hughes FJ, et al. Arch Oral Biol. 2008 Apr;53 Suppl 1:S1-7. doi: 10.1016/S0003-9969(08)70002-5. Arch Oral Biol. 2008. PMID: 18460398 Review.
Oral malodour is the result of the action of anaerobic bacteria in producing a range of malodorous molecular species including volatile sulphur compounds. Whilst malodour is often associated with the presence of periodontitis, in many cases there is no such l …

The relationship between oral malodor and volatile sulfur compound-producing bacteria.
Krespi YP, Shrime MG, Kacker A. Krespi YP, et al. Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2006 Nov;135(5):671-6. doi: 10.1016/j.otohns.2005.09.036. Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2006. PMID: 17071291 Review.
The mouth is home to hundreds of bacterial species that produce several fetid substances as a result of protein degradation. Volatile sulfur compound (VSC)-producing bacteria colonizing the lingual dorsum have recently been implicated in the generation of halitosis. …
