| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
As an animal model of dental caries, mice have been generally utilized. In this study, dental plaque microbiota of pre- and post-weanling, were analyzed by using molecular biological techniques. Enterococcus, Escherichia, Lactobacillus and Lactococcus were predominant. From the findings of the present study, the bacterial composition of dental plaque microbiota of mice varies markedly from that of humans (in which Streptococcus, Actinomyces and Veillonella are predominant); and this may be due to differences in the daily diet.
