The bacterial species found in the oral cavity can be both Gram-positive and Gram-negative.
Streptococcus is the predominant genus in the oral cavity.
S. aureus is related to endodontic infections, osteomyelitis, and periodontitis.
S. sanguinis is one of the pioneers of dental biofilm and produces polysaccharides extracellularly.
Haemophilus requires factors V and X, contained in blood, to develop.
Porphyromonas gingivalis is strongly associated with chronic periodontitis lesions.
Mycoplasma is characterized by the absence of a cell wall.
Lactobacillus is related to the etiology of dental caries.
Peptostreptococcus is isolated from dental plaque and is related to periodontal diseases.
Neisseria is a Gram-positive coccus that is generally arranged in pairs.
Micrococcus is a Gram-negative coccus that is rarely isolated from dental plaque.
Actinomyces israelii is associated with infections in association with P. gingivalis.
Prevotella intermedia is a saccharolytic anaerobe that produces polypeptides and is associated with gingivitis.
Staphylococcus epidermidis is found in low proportions in saliva and dental plaque.
Rothia dentocariosa is found in supragingival plaque, saliva, and advanced dentin caries lesions.
