  • Title: Microbial analyses of dental plaque of monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) using fluorescent antibody techniques.
    Author: Emilson CG, Bowen WH.
    Journal: Scand J Dent Res; 1981 Dec; 89(6):458-62. PubMed ID: 7041241.
    Abstract:
    Selected microbial components in supragingival dental plaque from recently captured monkeys were determined. Using specific fluorescent antibody (FA) conjugates S. sanguis was found to constitute an average of 11.8% of all cells. The populations of Actinomyces accounted for 20.7% (range 5-31) with A. viscosus and A. naeslundii as predominant species. Few lactobacilli were encountered. S. mutans was not detected in any specimens when examined by culture and FA.
