Outline of Final Research Achievements

Saliva specimens were taken from 3- and 4-year-old Thai children attending a kindergarten and nursery school in Bangkok, Thailand, from which Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus species were isolated using selective medium for each. Findings obtained from the S. mutans isolates provided new data to be added to a previously constructed multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme, which revealed the possibility of the correlation of a specific group of strains with clinical findings related to dental caries. As for the Lactobacillus species, Lactobacillus fermentus was shown to be associated with severe dental caries, thus several strains were classified using an MLST scheme, with novel sequence types revealed.
