Evaluating the relationship between acidogenicity and acid tolerance for oral streptococci from children with or without a history of caries

Background: Dental caries etiology is attributed to a dysbiotic imbalance within the plaque microbiome leading to a dominance of strong acidogens. Some studies that investigate the link between acidogens and caries quantify the recovery of acid tolerant strains on acid agar as a measure of acidogeni...
