Colonization with mutans streptococci was studied in 1095 1-year-old children living in suburban Stockholm. During a scheduled vaccination appointment at a child health centre, a bacterial sample was obtained from the child's tongue and a structured questionnaire was completed by the accompanying parent. Six percent of the subjects were colonized with mutans streptococci. The variables most strongly correlated with presence of mutans streptococci were: non-Swedish background, consumption of sugar-containing beverages at night and total consumption of sugar-containing beverages. The results indicate that, by the age of 1 year, maternally influenced behaviour patterns such as dietary habits that may predispose to early colonization of mutans streptococci are already established. Such early colonization with mutans streptococci may predict high caries risk in the primary dentition.
对居住在斯德哥尔摩郊区的1095名1岁儿童进行了变形链球菌定植情况的研究。在儿童健康中心进行定期疫苗接种预约时，从儿童的舌头获取细菌样本，并由陪同的家长填写一份结构化问卷。6%的受试者被变形链球菌定植。与变形链球菌存在最密切相关的变量是：非瑞典背景、夜间饮用含糖饮料以及含糖饮料的总消费量。结果表明，到1岁时，受母亲影响的行为模式，如可能易导致变形链球菌早期定植的饮食习惯已经形成。变形链球菌的这种早期定植可能预示着乳牙列患龋风险较高。
