Streptococcus mutans


Hello there.
I'm S. mutans.
I'm Gram Positive coccus.
Like my cousin S. sanguis, I'm an A haemolytic (Viridian) strep.

I am one of the most common causes of cavities.
I stick to the teeth using a sticky film the makes up dental plaque.
I make acid and eat away at your teeth.

    Hi Emma,

    S. mutans makes a biofilm in response to sucrose that houses other acid producers. We scrape the biofilm off of our teeth with toothpaste and brushes, but it wouldn't be there if we didn't eat sucrose.
