Abstract
Summary Aciduric, gram-positive, non-sporing, pleomorphicbacilli were isolated from the mouths of 21 of 24 individuals with extensive active caries, and from 7 patients in whom caries was arrested. Of 19 individuals who had never had any dental decay, the organisms were isolated from only 6; from 4 of these, organisms were obtained which had less acid-resistance than those from the carious mouths.Keywords
