Abstract
A lack of tools that kill selected members of the oral microbiome has hampered the ability to study specific roles of bacteria within bacterial communities. Work by Guo et al. shows the potential of antimicrobial peptides as a tool to assess the role of individual species in the microbial community.Keywords: antimicrobial peptide; microbial ecology; oral microbiome
