Abstract

Leeuwenhoek’s microscopic observations in his own dental plaque, more than 3 centuries ago, had indicated an unexpected diversity of microorganisms ( “animalcules”) in the human oral cavity [1]. Oral streptococci are common commensals in children. Their presence in excess amounts causes plaque and caries. Numbers can increase after eating sweet food items. Bacteria in the genus Streptococcus are the first inhabitants of the oral cavity and can be acquired right after birth. They thus play a very important role in the assembly of the oral microbiome [2]. Hence it is important to study the oral Streptococci and their characteristics, particularly in children.
