Characterization of Two Strains of Cariogenic Lactobacilli Free

Abstract

Two strains of lactobacilli that initiate dental caries in conventional animals were examined for their physiological and serological characteristics. The strain designated V CL-25 was identified as and belonged to serological group F. The strain designated IV CL-37 was a , but it could not be further identified as either of the known subspecies, nor did it belong to serological group G.
