“…S. vestibualris is a normal inhabitant of the oral cavity and has rarely been associated with human disease except in a few cases of infectious endocarditis, early neonatal sepsis and bacteremia in cancer patients [64]. Also, S. vestibularis was previously shown to produce only low levels of caries in rats when compared to other Streptococcus species (for example, S. salivarus ) [65]. The impacts on oral human health of S. salivarus span a broad range from being strongly cariogenic [66,67] to caries-protective by hydrolyzing urea to ammonia [68-70].…”

“…However, they cannot be reliably differentiated based on 16S rDNA sequence [17], and therefore the taxon designation here includes both species. Both species have been isolated from the human oral cavity, and in animal studies, isolates of S. salivarius have been shown to be strongly cariogenic, although less so than S. mutans [32][35]. In vitro studies suggest S. vestibularis is only mildly cariogenic [35], [36].…”

“…Both species are abundant in cariogenic dental plaque [Okada et al, 2005;Martínez-Martínez et al, 2011]. Cluster analysis of subjects with active caries showed that several had high levels of S. vestibularis or S. salivarius [Gross et al, 2012], and S. salivarius has been shown to be strongly cariogenic in animal studies, although less so than S. mutans [Drucker et al, 1984;Willcox et al, 1991] . Oral streptococci, including S. sanguinis , S. gordonii , and S. mitis, are the dominant 'pioneer' species in dental biofilm formation [Ritz, 1967], but they are associated with healthy tooth surfaces [Ge et al, 2008;Gross et al, 2012].…”
