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.
There are estimated to be 200 species of bacteria living on each person, with 80 species of bacteria in the mouth alone. There are an average of 10 million individual bacteria on every square inch of your skin, with the number increasing as much as 1,000 fold in the teeth, mouth and digestive tract.
