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.

Since people have different eating habits in different places, you might think an American's saliva might look a lot different from, say, a South African's. Saliva contains more DNA than blood because of all of the oral bacteria. 2  Most common type of bacteria in saliva is Streptococcus, in a mostly harmless form. 3  Saliva spreads molecules to the taste receptors on the tongue.
