reported in 1928 by Frederick Griffith‚[1] was one of the first experiments suggesting that bacteria are capable of transferring genetic information through a process known as transformation.[2][3] Griffith used two strains of pneumococcus (Streptococcus pneumoniae) bacteria which infect mice – a type III-S (smooth) and type II-R (rough) strain. The III-S strain covers itself with a polysaccharide capsule that protects it from the host’s immune system‚ resulting in the death of the host‚ while

The plaque on our gums and teeth is comprised of a complex structure created by Streptococcus mutans that allow the bacteria to live and survive successfully in our mouths. When these mutans are active they are producing an acid that slowly begins to erode our gums and teeth. Even though this bacterium occurs naturally in even the healthiest
