 | | Extrapolation of Caufield and colleagues’ data from a figure depicting the cumulative probability of mutans streptococci acquisition as a function of age indicated that approximately 5 percent of their study population acquired these organisms by approximately 9 months of age and approximately 15 percent of the subjects were colonized by approximately 12 months of age. | | | Earlier studies demonstrated that infants acquire mutans streptococci from their mothers and only after the eruption of primary teeth. | | | utilizing bacteriocin typing, demonstrated that when a child acquires mutans streptococci after age 5, there may be similarity between mutans streptococci strains in mother, father, and child, indicating that horizontal transmission can also occur between family members. |
