Oral lactobacilli are members of a group of bacteria implicated in caries progression, although information regarding their transmission, colonization, and caries-associated species is not well established. This study isolated oral lactobacilli from a group of children with primary dentition for determination ofLactobacillusprevalence, detection ofStreptococcus mutans, a major pathogen of caries initiation, and dental caries status of the children. Species ofLactobacillusisolates were determined from examination of 16S rDNA sequences. Subsequently, the most prevalent species was evaluated for involvement in caries status, and binding ability to type I collagen of allLactobacillusisolates was determined in association with caries status. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) of eleven loci was carried out to study strains of the predominantLactobacillussp. The detection of oral lactobacilli together withS. mutanswas significantly associated with the highest dental caries indices, but there was no involvement of collagen-binding properties ofLactobacillusisolates in caries status.Lactobacillus fermentumwas the most prevalent, and its presence was related to high scores of caries indices. MLST analysis ofL. fermentumpopulation could not specify a particular clone associated with caries status, but revealed sharing of identicalL. fermentumstrains among children in the same classrooms. Taken together, the data contributed useful information on the role of oral lactobacilli, in particularL. fermentumin dental caries.
