Abstract excerpt
The clonal diversity and colonization pattern of mutans streptococci within an individual were studied by using a total of 50 tooth site samples obtained from seven 3- to 7-year-old children. Five children contributed saliva samples. From the 7 subjects, 90, 74, 81, 53, 83, 103, and 114 isolates (a total of 598) representing Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus were included for arbitrarily primed...
