Sucrose influences the prevalence of S salivarius in adults. The aim of this study was to determine the early establishment of this organism in the mouth of newborn infants.
The oral microbiota were studied in 30 healthy full-term infants. Before the human-milk diet was instituted, the early liquid supply to ten of the infants was a 5% sucrose solution; 5% glucose solution to ten infants; and sterile water to ten of the infants.
No bacteria could be obtained from the mouths of 18 infants three to ten hours after birth. In the remaining 12 infants the total number of cultivable bacteria in the samples never exceeded 2,000. The total number of bacteria in all the infants was about 1 x 107 in the samples taken just before the ten o'clock meal the day after birth. S salivarius was recovered from most of the infants and was less than 1% of the total number of cultivable bacteria. There was no difference in prevalence of S salivarius in the infants who were given water as liquid supply or solutions of sucrose or glucose.
