Oral bacterial metabolism is not only important for one species growth and development but important for the entire biofilm as well. For example, Streptococci spp. which is the most prevalent bacteria in the mouth ferments carbohydrates which produce lactic acid.
Bacteroides are some of the most common anaerobic bacteria species in the foot wounds of diabetics. Often, anaerobes co-exist with aerobic bacteria, which need oxygen to thrive. This is common in foot ulcers, which makes them more difficult to treat. Other anaerobes, such as those in the Actinomyces genus, can cause dental infections within the mouth.
