OBJECTIVE: This study was conducted to estimate oral colonization by @entity6586 and @entity6586 sanguinis in adults with high and without any @entity1547 experience. Furthermore, differences in the amount of @entity273 ( @entity274 ) produced by @entity885 isolated from both groups were assessed. DESIGN: Forty adults were divided into: (i) carious lesion-free, without any carious lesion, assessed by the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS), or restoration, ( @entity1577 ) and (ii) @entity1547 ( @entity1547 ). Saliva samples were collected and seeded on respective agar-plates for enumeration of total streptococci, @entity6586 and @entity885 (CFU/mL) and compared between groups. Additionally, @entity885 colonies obtained from both groups were inoculated on Prussian blue agar for @entity274 detection. Production of @entity274 was quantified and compared between the two groups. @entity885 counts were significantly higher in @entity1577 than @entity1547 individuals (p<0.05). Conversely, @entity6586 showed significantly higher levels in @entity1547 than @entity1577 subjects (p<0.001). @entity885 colonies from @entity1577 individuals produced significantly larger @entity274 halos compared with @entity1547 subjects. CONCLUSIONS: @entity885 predominates over @entity6586 in saliva of adults without @entity1547 experience. In those @entity1 , @entity885 produces more @entity274 ex vivo.
