bacteria in mouth, plaque

Postby physgirl » Sun Jul 15, 2007 5:24 pm

So out of cocci, bacilli, and spirilla, which type(s) is/are present in the mouth as part of plaque? Is there a reason for the differences in the amounts present or why some aren't present at all in the mouth?

You have to remember that inside the mouth, there's saliva which contains lysozyme.... :)
