Lactobacilli and Streptococci in the Mouth of Children

Abstract: The oral establishment of various species of streptococci and lactobacilli has been studied on 25 infants during a period of 5 years. When the children were 3, 4 and 5 years old, their caries and gingival status were recorded. Streptococcus salivarius becomes established within a day of birth, and Streptococcus sanguis after the eruption of the teeth during the first year. Streptococcus mutans was recovered from the infants significantly later and had only become established in half the number of the infants w… Show more

“…Microbial colonization is known to begin at birth. A young child without any teeth usually does not carry any mutans streptococci (Carlsson et al, 1975). Following eruption of teeth, the ecological conditions for colonization by mutans streptococci are established.…”

“…Antes de um ano de idade, apenas três crianças foram positivas para EM (famílias 2, 4 e 7 -Tabela 3), com baixos escores, geralmente considerados colonização transitória 12,20 . Todavia, duas dessas crianças foram densamente colonizadas na visita 3, mantendo a colonização na visita 4.…”

“…Isso porque as mães parecem ser a fonte de transmissão mais importante dos EM para seus filhos [5][6][7][8] ; todavia, essas bactérias também podem ser transmitidas pelos pais ou mesmo indivíduos não aparentados [8][9][10] . Foi sugerido que a aquisição inicial desses microrganismos pelas crianças ocorre entre 19 e 30 meses de idade, um período denominado "Janela de infectividade" 11,12 .…”
