That idea —farfetched as it might seem— is the premise behind a line of research underway in the laboratory of Dr. Zvi Loewy at Touro College of Pharmacy. The work, which began with a pharmacy student and continued across several schools within Touro University, asks a deceptively simple question: can the oral cavity be engineered to defend itself against harmful pathogens, not with antibiotics, but with beneficial bacteria that already exist in the human body?
