Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health concern, especially with regard to bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Dentists are responsible for approximately 10% of all antibiotic prescriptions. In addition, there seems to be a lack of awareness of potential resistance toward antiseptics and biocides such as chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) or cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), which are commonly used in dental practice but also included in over-the-counter products. In comparison to the gut microbiome, only a small number of studies have investigated the impact of antibiotics on the oral microbiome. Amoxicillin is a commonly prescribed antibiotic in dentistry, often used in combination with metronidazole. Several studies have addressed its impact on the oral microbiome. Similarly, the effects of ciprofloxacin, clindamycin, cephazolin, and benzylpenicillin have also been examined in various studies. However, due to variations in study designs, it is difficult to compare the effects of antibiotics on the oral microbiota, and conclusions can only be drawn at the phyla level. In contrast, studies on CPC and CHX have also focused on the genus level. The oral resistome mainly contains genes involved in resistance to macrolides, MLS
