Plaque samples were taken from the babies once a month until initial acquisition of MS was found. The bacteria were isolated on BHI and TYC broth respectively and reproduced using BAP/Lavental. The determination of cultivated bacteria were done using API20 Strep. Results: The results showed 84% of the babies positive acquired MS at average age of 9 month. The determination test revealed that 24% of the babies acquired S.mutans at 7,5 months old, 4% acquired S.sobrinus at 10 months old, 20% acquired S.sanguinis at 7,4 months old, 16% acquired S.salivarius at 7,75 months old, 16% acquired S.oralis at 7,75 months old, and 4% acquired S.bovis at 9 months.
