Why be down in the mouth? Three decades of research in oral microbiology.
This paper describes some of the work done in the author's laboratory over the past 35 years. The research covers the following areas: the physiology of oral streptococci and their interactions; the physiology of some Gram-negative anaerobes and their interactions in relation to periodontal diseases; preventing the major dental diseases; and the future of oral microbiology.
