Abstract
Eleven caries-susceptible and 3 caries-immune females were examined for presence of oral and vaginal lactobacilli. The bacteria were found in most subjects. There was no association of oral and vaginal findings, nor was there any evidence of a systemic factor reducing numbers of vaginal lactobacilli in the salivary lactobacillus-free immunes.Keywords
