Despite the oral cavity having a substantial microbial burden, healing of superficial oral wounds occurs quickly and with little scarring. By contrast, creation of an oro-nasal fistula (ONF), often occurring after surgery to correct a cleft palate, is a significant wound healing challenge that is further complicated by a connection of the oral and nasal microbiome. In this study, we characterized the changes in the oral microbiome of mice following a freshly inflicted wound in the oral palate that results in an open and unhealed ONF. Creation of an ONF in mice significantly lowered oral microbiome alpha diversity, with concurrent blooms of\n                  <jats:italic>Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus lentus, and Staphylococcus xylosus<\/jats:italic>\n                  in the oral cavity. Treatment of mice with oral antibiotics one week prior to ONF infliction resulted in a reduction in the alpha diversity, prevented\n                  <jats:italic>E. faecalis<\/jats:italic>\n                  and\n                  <jats:italic>S. lentus, and S. xylosus<\/jats:italic>\n                  blooms, but did not impact ONF healing. Strikingly, delivery of the beneficial microbe\n                  <jats:italic>Lactococcus lactis<\/jats:italic>\n                  subsp. cremoris (LLC) to the wound bed of the freshly inflicted ONF via a PEG-MAL hydrogel vehicle resulted in rapid healing of the ONF. Healing of the ONF was associated with the maintenance of relatively high microbiome alpha diversity, and limited the abundance of\n                  <jats:italic>E. faecalis<\/jats:italic>\n                  and\n                  <jats:italic>S. lentus, and S. xylosus<\/jats:italic>\n                  in the oral cavity. These data demonstrate that a freshly inflicted ONF in the murine palate is associated with a dysbiotic oral microbiome state that may prevent ONF healing, and a bloom of opportunistic pathogens. The data also demonstrate that delivery of a specific beneficial microbe, LLC, to the ONF can boost wound healing, can restore and\/or preserve oral microbiome diversity, and inhibit blooms of opportunistic pathogens.\n                <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1101\/2023.06.02.543508","type":"posted-content","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,6]],"date-time":"2023-06-06T20:35:36Z","timestamp":1686083736000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Microbial Changes occurring during oronasal fistula wound healing"],"prefix":"10.64898","author":[{"given":"Steven L.","family":"Goudy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Heath","family":"Bradley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Camillo Anthony","family":"Gacasan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Afra","family":"Toma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Crystal R.","family":"Naudin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"William M.","family":"Wuest","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Tomov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vahid","family":"Serpooshan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ahmet","family":"Coskun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0415-9487","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rheinallt M.","family":"Jones","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"54368","reference":[{"key":"2023061004500443000_2023.06.02.543508v1.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/jomfp.JOMFP_304_18"},{"key":"2023061004500443000_2023.06.02.543508v1.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"42","DOI":"10.3934\/microbiol.2018.1.42","article-title":"Oral microbiome and health","volume":"4","year":"2018","journal-title":"AIMS Microbiol"},{"key":"2023061004500443000_2023.06.02.543508v1.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1603","DOI":"10.3389\/fmicb.2018.01603","article-title":"Microbial Similarity and Preference for Specific Sites in Healthy Oral Cavity and Esophagus","volume":"9","year":"2018","journal-title":"Front Microbiol"},{"key":"2023061004500443000_2023.06.02.543508v1.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Willis, J.R. & Gabaldon, T.
