The intraoral establishment and proportional distribution of suspected periodontal pathogens A. viscosus and A. naeslundii were studied using a recently developed differential plating medium, CNAC-20. Saliva and dental plaque samples were collected from 108 subjects (infants to young adults); tongue and buccal mucosa samples were collected from only the adult subjects. Catalase-negative A. naeslundii was isolated from 40% of the predentate infants'' and almost all other subjects'' saliva samples. It predominated among CNAC-20 isolates in the saliva of subjects of all age groups, in the plaques of young children, and in the adult tongue samples. In contrast, catalase-positive A. viscosus was not isolated from predentate infant samples, and its frequency of isolation increased slowly with age (> 50% detection by age 7). A. viscosus was isolated in highest relative proportions from dental plaque and buccal mucosa samples. The 2 closely related species A. viscosus and A. naeslundii apparently differ in respect to factors determining the host age at which they colonize and their relative intraoral distribution in humans.
