The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and proportions of different streptococcal species among the streptococcal flora during infancy. A total of 60 oral samples were collected by oral swabbing of the buccal mucosa and alveolar ridges of 18 infants before tooth eruption and from buccal and lingual surfaces of teeth after tooth eruption. A total of 549 isolates on mitis salivarius agar were speciated, principally by recently revised biochemical criteria of Kilian et al.Streptococcus mitisbiovar 1 predominated, both in prevalence (89%) and proportion of oral streptococci recovered in each sample (median = 87% of streptococcal flora).Streptococcus salivariuswas also prevalent (94%) but generally represented a small percentage of the total streptococcal flora (median = 3%).Streptococcus oralisandStreptococcus anginosusstrains were detected in approximately one third of predentate and dentate infants in the first year of life.Streptococcus sanguisstrains were not detected before tooth eruption, but could be detected in 7/14 of the infants with teeth. Thus,S. mitisconstitutes the major component of the initially colonizing streptococcal microbiota of the young infant.
