Evidence for the transmissibility of human dental caries.

A H Rogers.   

Abstract

Strains of Streptococcus mutans, an organism strongly implicated in the aetiology of human dental caries, have been identified by means of a bacteriocin typing technique. Examination of family groups suggests that the organism can be transmitted intrafamiliarly thus supporting the notion that human dental caries is an infectious transmissible disease.
